I. What is Eudora Light

Eudora Light is an electronic mail management program E-mail client.  It can send, receive, and organize your E-mail messages.  This program uses POP3 and SMTP protocols to receive and send messages, respectively.

People who access their mail from one location are best suited for mail programs that use the POP3 protocol.  GatorLink services, CIRCA grove accounts, and NERDC nersp accounts provide mail servers that use the POP protocol. Faculty, staff, and students of the University of Florida can freely use this program for non-commercial purposes.

II. Program Features

Eudora provides a wide variety of features including:

• Easy to use Windows Graphical Interface
• An address book capable of using nickname-aliases
• Mail filtering and search capabilities
• MIME and BenHex attachment encryption and Decryption
• Message sorting capability

III. System Requirements

Eudora Light 3.0.6 for Windows 3.x, 95, NT

• Approximately 5M of Hard drive space
• 16-bit & 32-bit versions provided
• If you are already using PGP 5.0 with Eudora Light, you must download the installer with PGP. Your version of the PGP software will not work with Eudora Light version 3.0.6.

IV. Installation Recommendations

During the installation, we recommend:

• Use the version of Eudora Light that installer recommends.
• Install the Qualcomm Pure Voice Plug-in if you have a sound card and speakers.  It allows you to hear sound files sent by Eudora.

 

Windows 3.1x: Start from the Program Manager window. Select the File menu and the Run option. In the Command Line box, enter: Z:\SOFTWARE\EUDORA\EUL306.EXE "Z" represents the hard drive letter.   Click the OK button. Restart your PC after installation is complete.

Windows 95/98/NT: Select the Start button and the Run option. In the Open box of the Run window, enter:     Z:\SOFTWARE\EUDORA\EUL306.EXE "Z" represents the hard drive letter.   Click the OK button. Restart your PC after installation is complete.

To start Eudora Light, select the Start menu and the options: Programs, Eudora Lite, and Eudora Light.

Note: The first time you start Eudora Light, you will receive a message window that informs you that Eudora is not currently the default mail program. We suggest answering "No" to this question until you are sure that Eudora is the E-mail management program you want to use. If you answer "Yes", then Windows will use this program to send E-mail messages.

The Options window should automatically appear. If the Options window does not appear, select the Tools menu and the option, Options. In Options window, fill-in this information:

1. Select the "Getting Started" category.

• Enter your E-mail address in the POP account field. (In lowercase letters) 
  Examples for:
  GatorLink services: johndoe@pop.ufl.edu

grove accounts:  johndoe@grove.ufl.edu
nersp accounts:  johndoe@pop.nersp.nerdc.ufl.edu
Other accounts:  Verify this setting with your mail server administrator.
 
• Enter your full name (as you would like for it to be seen) in the "Real name" field.
• Verify that the Connection Method is set to: Winsock (Network, PPP, SLIP)
• If you receive E-mail messages from a different address than the one entered in the POP account field, then highlight the "Personal Information" category and type that E-mail address in the "Return address" field.  This will be your Reply Address for all of your E-mail messages. GatorLink users should use:    johndoe@ufl.edu

  ---

Select the "Hosts" category. Enter the name of your smtp server into the SMTP field. (use lowercase letters) For: GatorLink services:    smtp.ufl.edu CIRCA grove accounts:  grove.ufl.edu NERDC nersp accounts:  smtp.nerdc.ufl.edu Other accounts: Check with your account administrator.

---

3. Select the "Checking Mail" category.

1. If you want Eudora Light to send your password automatically when you check your E-mail, then check the Save Password box. (Be sure not to forget it yourself),

2. We strongly suggest keeping the "Check for mail every __ minutes" at the default zero setting. Eudora Light can only check for E-mail when you are connected to your dial-up service. You should only check your E-mail when necessary to keep the server from being bogged down.

3. Verify that the Authentication style is set to: Passwords.

4. Leave the other settings as they appear.  If you want to know more about these settings look under the Help menu.

4. Select the "Attachments" category.

Click the bar beneath Attachment directory and select a directory for all attachments to be saved in. Attachments are (programs, images, word-processed documents, etc.) files that are "attached" to E-mail. If you have this directory selected, Eudora Light will "detach" the files from the text message and save them at this location for your further use.

Select the "MAPI" category.  Many Window products have a Send button in their File menu.  If you want Eudora to appear when this button is pressed then check the "Always" box under the "Use Eudora MAPI server".

All other settings are optional and are up to personal preference.

VII. How to use

Most of Eudora Light can be learned through trial and error. The program is simple to use and provides a "How to" section. Select the Help menu and the Topics option.

A manual is also available for download at: http://eudora.qualcomm.com/eudoralight/
or on the CD in the folder: Z:\SOFTWARE\EUDORA\WLIT3MAN.PDF
