Eudora in the Mac Labs (Installation)
- Create a folder called Eudora or Mail on your home directory on Charlie.
(This folder is referred to as your Mail folder in the rest of this document.)
- Open the Eudora folder in the folder Charlie.Mac:Communication
Packages:TCP/IP Programs:Eudora Light 3.0.1. Copy the
Eudora Settings file from this directory to your Mail folder.
- Open your Mail folder and double click on the Eudora settings file.
This will launch Eudora. If it doesn't, make sure that you are logged into
Charlie and you have mounted the Charlie.Mac volume.
- Follow the Setup instructions:
Eudora Setup for Mac
- From the
Special Menu, choose Settings....
- Under Username, enter your user name on the server you get mail from.
For students, if you read mail on Odin, this is the first letter of your
first name, followed by your last name. For example, if your name is
Ronald Reagan, your username is
rreagan.
- Under Mail Server, enter the server you check mail on. For students,
this is probably
odin.ac.hmc.edu; for faculty and staff,
thuban.ac.hmc.edu; for administration,
hmcadm.admin.hmc.edu.
- Next, in the space for Real Name, enter your name, i.e. Ronald Reagan.
- The last item is optional and that is your return address. If you want
everyone that replies to your mail to send mail to the account you entered
for POP account, then leave this blank, if you would like your return
address to be different, enter it here. For example, enter
First_Last@hmc.edu because this is the HMC mail central address
and this is where I would like my mail to go.
- Click OK.
- From the
Special Menu, choose
Signature. Enter whatever information you would like to
appear at the end of all your messages.
Basic operating Instructions
Checking mail:
- From the
File Menu, choose Check
Mail.

Next,
Eudora will ask you for your password. Your password is only asked for
once
a session, i.e. until you quit Eudora.
- Alternatively, in the
Settings... dialog box (under
the
Special menu), you can have Eudora check your mail every
couple of minutes. If you enter a value of 0, it will never check your
mail
until you choose the Check Mail command.
- All your new mail will appear in the IN box. Double click on each
message to read it. If you want to reply to it, choose
v
Reply
from the Message menu.
Sending mail:
- From the
Message Menu, choose New
Message
(not New Message to).

- Enter the address of the person you want to send mail.
- Next press tab, or click in the subject area. Enter any subject
you wish.
- Press tab again or click in the body of the message.
- Enter your message and then click send.
