- Installation
- ------------
-
- To install Eudora, download the software archive (eu154b13.exe) into a
- directory on your PC. Double click on the archive to unpack it into the
- same directory, then follow these directions:
-
- 1. Exit any applications you are running.
-
- 2. In the Windows Explorer or File Manager, double-click on Setup.exe
- to start the Setup program.
-
- 3. Read the Welcome screen, then click Next.
-
- 4. Specify a directory to install Eudora, or your current Eudora
- directory if you have one, then click Next.
-
- 5 Specify which version of Eudora you wish to install, then click
- Next. If you are unsure of which version to install, follow the
- recommendation made by the Setup program.
-
- If you choose to install the 32-bit version of Eudora but do not
- have 32-bit TCP/IP software, you will receive an error message.
- The 32-bit version will not work without 32-bit TCP/IP software,
- so you are given the option to install the 16-bit version instead.
-
- 6. Verify that the displayed settings are correct, then click Next
- (or use the Back button if you need to go back and make changes).
-
- 7. Eudora is installed in the destination directory, and you are
- prompted for whether or not you want to view the README file.
- Click Yes.
-
- Note: Always keep the Help file in the same directory as the executable.
-
- ---------------------------
- Cusomizing the Installation
- ---------------------------
-
- The SETUP.INI file in the installation archive lists all the settings that
- effect the install procedure. You must alter these settings to modify
- the installation process.
-
- Eudora Light installs many default dialup scripts. It will also automatically
- install any script called "CUSTOM" that is located in the install directory.
- For example, if you place "CUSTOM.MID", "CUSTOM.NAV" and "CUSTOM.MOD" in the
- same directory as the SETUP.EXE application, setup will install all three
- files into the user's scripts directory.
-
-
- -------------
- Configuration
- -------------
-
- The first time you run Eudora you will have to edit some of the
- configuration information in order to be able to send and receive mail.
-
- Select Options... from the Tools Menu.
-
- The fields you need to review are:
-
- POP Account: To use Eudora, you must have an account on a computer that
- runs a POP3 server. This is the account to which your e-mail messages are
- delivered before they are transferred to the Eudora program on your PC. In
- this field, type your login name for this account and the full (domain)
- name of the computer, separating them with an "@" sign. For example, if
- your assigned login name is "jsmith", and the name of the computer where
- you receive e-mail is "mailhost.wxyz.com", type "jsmith@mailhost.wxyz.com"
- in this field.
-
- Real Name: Type your real name. Your name, as it appears here, is
- displayed along with your return address in your outgoing mail.
-
- SMTP Server: To send mail, a computer with an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer
- Protocol) server program is necessary. You need not have a login to this
- computer, but you must have access to it through your network. If the
- computer on which you have your POP account is also an SMTP server, leave
- this field blank. Otherwise, specify the name of the computer you want to
- use as your SMTP server.
-
- Return Address: Normally, Eudora uses your POP account as your return
- address. If you wish to use a return address other than your POP account,
- enter it here.
-
-
- If you have the New Mail Notification "Sound" switch on, then when new mail
- arrives, you will hear a notification sound. In order for this to work,
- your system must have a properly configured sound board, or you must have
- installed the Sound Driver for PC-Speaker (anonymous ftp from
- ftp.qualcomm.com the file /quest/windows/utils/SPEAK.EXE). Eudora has a
- built-in sound, but if you wish to supply your own, it must be in .WAV
- format. To change the default new mail sound, select the Settings... menu
- item in the Special menu, and then select the Getting Attention category.
- Select the button under the "Play a sound" checkbox, and a dialog will
- prompt you for the sound file.
-
- Note that this driver will only work for the Windows 3.X and Windows 95
- operating systems. It will not work for Windows NT.
-
- If the mail you are sending is bouncing back to you saying that the message
- does not have a Date: header, add the following entry to your EUDORA.INI
- file:
-
- [Settings]
- TimeZone=xxxnnnyyy
-
- where xxx, yyy are timezone abbreviations like PST, PDT, CDT, and nnn is
- the offset in hours WEST of GMT (i.e., those that are east of GMT should
- enter a negative number here). xxx is the timezone during Standard Time
- and yyy is the timezone during Daylight Savings Time. If you do not change
- your clocks during Daylight Savings Time, leave yyy blank.
- Here's some samples:
- TimeZone=PST8PDT
- TimeZone=EST5EDT
- TimeZone=MET-1
-
- If you don't specify a TimeZone entry, then a Date: header will not be put
- jsmita outgoing messages, which is fine for most users because their mail
- server will insert the correct Date: header. The moral is: if you don't
- get messages bounced because of a missing Date: header, then leave the
- TimeZone entry alone.
-
-
- ---------------
- TCP/IP Services
- ---------------
-
- Eudora makes use of several different TCP/IP services, and has default port
- numbers for these services. Most sites put these services on the default
- ports, but some may not. Contact your site network administrator to make
- sure that the following services listed below are indeed on the default
- port numbers. If they aren't, you'll have to make some changes to some
- configuration file(s) in your TCP/IP package (usually to a SERVICES file).
-
- Below are a list of the services which Eudora uses, and what they might
- look like in a typical services file. The names of these services must be
- exactly as named here (e.g., the entry for the POP3 service must be "pop3"
- and not "pop-3"). Make sure that you make any changes necessary for your
- TCP/IP package to specify the location of the SERVICES file.
-
- To send mail:
- smtp 25/tcp
-
- To receive mail:
- pop3 110/tcp
-
- To use Ph (if your site has a Ph server):
- csnet-ns 105/tcp
-
- To use Finger (if your site supports finger):
- finger 79/tcp
-
- To use the Change Password... function in Eudora, your site must have a
- password changing server installed. See the directory
- <ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/quest/unix/servers/password> for examples of password
- changing servers):
- epass 106/tcp
-
- There are also entries in the [Settings] section of the EUDORA.INI
- file for default port numbers of services. These are provided for setups
- in which the SERVICES file cannot be modified. Do not use these entries
- unless the services are not on default port numbers and you cannot modify
- them in your TCP/IP package. Here are sample INI entries:
-
- [Settings]
- SMTPPort=25
- POPPort=110
- PHPort=105
- FingerPort=79
- EudoraPassPort=106

- Developer's Note
- ----------------
-
- Eudora Light is postcardware!
-
- If you try out Eudora, and decide that you'd like to use it on a regular
- basis, then just send a postcard to the following address:
-
- Jeff Beckley
- QUEST
- QUALCOMM Incorporated
- 6455 Lusk Blvd.
- San Diego, CA 92121-2779
- USA
-
- Postcards that have something to do with where you live are an especially
- good choice, as I like to see all the interesting places that Eudora is
- being used. Humorous or unusual postcards are a favorite of mine, and you
- never know when I may decide that someone's postcard was interesting enough
- to make them a tester for the commercial version of Eudora.
