- ================================EUDORA LIGHT FOR MACINTOSH 3.1.3================================This is version 3.1.3 of Eudora Light for Macintosh. This README providesinformation on the following topics:* Minimum Requirements* Drag and Drop Requirements* Installation* New Features and Changes in 3.1.3* License and Legal Information=====================MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS=====================To use Eudora Light for Macintosh, you must have the following:* A Macintosh Plus or later model.* Macintosh System 7.0 or later.* A mail account with an Internet service provider or an Internet-style network account.* Access to your mail account via a modem or Internet-style network connection.============================DRAG AND DROP REQUIREMENTS============================If you do not have Macintosh Drag and Drop running on your Macintosh,certain features may be disabled. Macintosh Drag and Drop is included inSystem 7.5 and System 7 Pro, but is not in earlier versions of System 7.Macintosh Drag and Drop requires that Finder 7.1.3 or newer is running forthe Drag and Drop extensions to work properly. Installing the Drag and Dropextensions with an older Finder has been shown to cause strange behavior,and is not recommended.If you are running a system version with a Finder that is older than 7.1.3,you will be able to drag and drop within the Eudora application. However,you will not be able to drag between Eudora and other running applications.=============INSTALLATION=============You can install this version of Eudora Light over an earlier version ofEudora Light. Just follow the instructions below, and when you open the newversion of Eudora, your Settings, mailboxes, etc. will be updated for thenew version.To install Eudora Light, do the following:1.

To find outhow to set up Eudora so that you can send and receive e-mail, see the"Configuration" section in the README installed with the software, and alsosee the User Manual section "Opening and Configuring Eudora." For detailsabout the files in the Eudora Folder (in your System Folder) and the EudoraLight Application Folder, see their corresponding sections in the Referencechapter of the User Manual.=================================NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES IN 3.1.3=================================Auto-configuration_______________Auto-configuration support has been added to Eudoraby using the Internet standard Application ConfigurationAccess Protocol (ACAP). ACAP is a client/server protocolwhich allows Eudora to retrieve configuration settingsfrom a central server. These settings include thosethat must be set up for you to start sending andreceiving e-mail, such as your POP account name andSMTP host.In order for you to use the auto-configuration settings, yoursystem administrator or service provider must set up a centralserver with your personal settings. You can then downloadthose settings whenever you like. Typically, you would doso only when you first start using Eudora. However, youcan restore your settings to their original values at any timeby downloading them down again.To download your settings, open the Settings dialog underthe Special menu and click on the Auto. Configure icon. Fillin the ACAP Server Name and the ACAP Server Username fields;your system administrator or service provider should have toldyou what to enter in these fields. Click the FetchSettings Now button and the Auto Configuration password dialogbox appears. Type in your password in the password fieldand press the Configure Automatically button to download yoursettings from the ACAP server.The following ACAP-related information primarily for use bysystem administrators and/or service providers.If the "If no account configured, try fetching settings from anACAP server" setting (#217) is on ("y"), then when Eudora is firstlaunched (actually any time Eudora is launched without a POPaccount having been specified), the Auto-Configure panel of theSettings dialog is displayed. In the absence of that switch, theSettings dialog's Getting Started panel would appear instead.The setting for the ACAP Server is #218, and the setting for theACAP Server Username is #219.The port ID used in communicating with the ACAP server issetting #10109.You can obtain detailed information on setting up an ACAP serverto support Eudora clients on the Eudora web site. go tohttp://www.eudora.com/techsupport, click Frequently AskedQuestions (FAQ), then click Automatic Initial Configuration with ACAP.Note: The upcoming version 2.0 release of the Eudora WorldMail Serverwill support auto-configuration of Eudora clients.Pre-configuring the POP server__________________________System administrators can now pre-configure Eudora by puttingthe Mail Host (POP) server name in the Settings dialog, so thatthe user needs only to add his or her account name. When Eudorais launched, it displays the Getting Started window of the Settingsdialog, the Mail Host (e.g., domainname) displaying the correctMail Host setup in your Settings panels.For example, suppose the Mail Host you required was assignedxyz.qualcomm.com. When you start Eudora, Getting Started automaticallydisplays xyz.qualcomm.com in the Mail Host field. You just need toinsert your username in the Username text field.=====================LICENSE AGREEMENT=====================QUALCOMM IncorporatedLicense Terms for Eudora Light Version 3.1.3 - Macintosh PlatformQUALCOMM grants to the user a nonexclusive license to use this EudoraSoftware solely for User's own personal or internal business purposes.
