Configuring Eudora
To configure this email client with the POP before SMTP relay:
- Open Eudora.
- In the menu bar, go to the Tools drop-down menu and select Options.

Click OK. Once you have filled these fields, Eudora will populate other settings based on your input.
- Select Checking Mail on the left and fill out the form that shows:
- Mail Server (POP) and Login Name should be populated from your input on the Getting Started screen.
- Check for mail every “X” minutes – determine how often Eudora will check for new mail messages when you are connected.
- Send on check – allows you to send any outgoing mail messages at the time that you check for incoming mail.

Click OK to save settings.
- Select Incoming Mail on the left and check the necessary options:
- Server Configuration – must be set to POP;
- Leave mail on server – allows your e-mail to be stored on a server;
Otherwise, mail can be deleted after storing for a certain amount of days or upon emptying from Eudora’s Trash bin; - Skip messages – allows you to not download messages that are of a large size;
- Offline should not be checked;

Click OK.

- Return address and SMTP server should already be completed from previous fields on the Getting Started tab;
- Domain field can be left blank;
- Allow authentication should not be checked for POP SMTP relay;
- Immediate send allows Eudora to send messages immediately after being written, as opposed to storing them in the Outbox for you to send at a later time;
- Check Send on check to send any outgoing mail messages at the time that you check for incoming mail;
- Leave Secure Sockets as the default setting;
Click OK to save settings.
