Eudora Light

Eudora Light 3.x is one of the finest e-mail programsavailable today.  It’s very easy to download, install, and set up.

First, download Eudora Light from web site.  Save the file eul3xx.exeto your desktop.  Once the download is complete, double-click the executable file andthe setup process will begin.  You can basically press Next to all the prompts.  When you are asked if you would like to see the Readme file, click No.

Next, start Eudora by going to the Start menu, thenPrograms, Eudora Light, and then Eudora Light.  You may see a dialog about ContextSensitive Help, just click Close.  If you are asked to register Eudora, click NeverRegister.  The next thing you will see is an Options dialog.  If you do not seeit, click Tools, then click Options.

“Getting Started” Category

For POP account, enter your_username@pop.surf-ici.com.   For example, if your username was JDoe, you would put JDoe@pop.surf-ici.com, or jdoe@pop.surf-ici.com.  Case does NOT matter.

For Real Name, enter your first and last name.  For example, John Doe.

For Return Address, enter your_username@surf-ici.com.   This is different from POP Account in that the “pop” is not there–DO NOT put a “pop.” anywhere in this box.  You MUST enter your return address here, or else people will never be able to send you messages when they reply to yours.   For example, if your username was JDoe, you would put JDoe@surf-ici.com, or jdoe@surf-ici.com.  Again, case does not matter.

Leave Winsock as the connection method.

“Hosts” Category

For SMTP, enter pop.surf-ici.com.   Leave Ph: and Finger: blank.

“Checking Mail” Category (optional)

You may want to put a checkmark for Save Password so you don’t have to type your password every time you check your e-mail.

Click OK.  To check your e-mail for the first time,click the Check Mail icon in the Eudora Toolbar, or press CTRL+M.    Youwill be asked for your password.  Enter the same password as your dial-up password,and any messages will be retrieved if you have any.

Congratulations!  That’s it, and you should be readyto use Eudora Light.
