The first time you run Eudora the account creation process starts automatically. From the Welcome screen, click Next to start the New Account Wizard.
Click to select the Create a brand new email account option and then click Next.
Type your name in the box provided. The name you enter here is the name that will appear in the From section of your outgoing email messages. Click Next to continue.
In the space provided, type in your complete email address, and then click Next.
Your User Name consists of your initials and a number assigned by HSU. It does not include the @humboldt.edu part of your email address. Type your User Name in the space provided, and then click Next.
Type pop.humboldt.edu as the name of the Incoming Server. Click to select POP as the server type, and click Next.
Type smtp.humboldt.edu as the name of the Outgoing Server. Check the Allow Authentication box as shown. Click Next.
Regardless of what Eudora is telling you, you haven't quite completed the setup process required to use Eudora with your HSU email account. Two changes must be made to the default information used by Eudora in order to successfully use your account.
Click Finish from the Success screen to return to the main Eudora window.
Click to select Tools from the menu bar, and then click Options.
The Options window provides the ability to make changes to a variety of email account options. The categories that can be changed are listed on the left side of the screen and accessed by clicking the desired selection.
Start by clicking the second category, Checking Mail to display a window similar to the window shown below.
Click the down-arrow to activate the drop-down box labeled Secure Sockets when Receiving. Click to select Required, Alternate Port.
Click to select the Sending Mail category on the left-hand side of the window.
If you frequently send mail to other HSU email addresses, type humboldt.edu in the box labeled Domain to add to unqualified addresses. This change will allow you to type in only the User Name portion of an address, such as abc###, rather than having to type the full email address abc###@humboldt.edu.
Verify that the Allow Authentication box is checked.
Click to put a check in the last box, Use submission port (587).
Click OK to exit the setup process.
The first time you use Eudora to access your HSU email account, provided that you installed the required Certificate, a message will be displayed asking if you want to trust this Certificate for future sessions. Click Yes.
