How do I configure Eudora 6.2 for Mac OS 10.2/10.4 to connect to the VT Mail server?
Answer:
Start Eudora.
From the Special menu, select Settings.
From the list on the left, select the Getting Started icon.
In the User Name text box, type your PID.
In the Mail Server text box, type: pop.vt.edu
In the Real Name text box, type your name as you want it to appear in messages you send.
In the SMTP Server text box, type: auth.smtp.vt.edu
In the Return Address text box, type: [Your PID]@vt.edu
Note: Replace [Your PID] with your PID.
From the list on the left, select the Sending Mail icon.
Check the Allow Authorization check box.
From the list on the left, select the SSL icon.
From the Personality drop-down list, select the personality you want to configure. If you have not created any new personalities in Eudora, select Dominant.
From the SSL for POP drop-down list, select Required (Alternate Port).
From the SSL for SMTP drop-down list, select Required (Alternate Port).
From the list on the left, select the Miscellaneous icon.
Place a check in the Use System Keychain to Store Passwords check box.
Click OK.
If asked "You connected to a server which returned this SSL certificate that is not in your keychain. Would you like to add it to your keychain?", click OK.
Restart Eudora.
