Eudora Email Setup
| To send and receive messages, you must have an account with a service running a POP (Post Office Protocol) server, and access to a computer running an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server. Your incoming e-mail messages are delivered to the POP account, where you pick them up and transfer them to Eudora on your PC. Your outgoing messages are sent to the SMTP server to deliver to your recipients. If you just installed Eudora and have opened it for the first time | ![]() |
