This page explains how to use the "New Account Wizard" to add an e-mail account to Eudora. It assumes that you've already followed the instructions to make the "New Account Wizard" window visible.
Before you continue, you should enter your e-mail address (the address you want to set up in Eudora) in the box above. Entering your e-mail address makes sure that the instructions below are correct.
Select Create a brand new email account, then click Next.
Enter your e-mail address for the Personality Name, then click Next.
This is the name that other people will see when you send them e-mail. It should be your real name, such as John Smith or Joan of Arc. Type your name, then click Next.
Type your e-mail address, then click Next. The address must be the e-mail address of the POP mailbox you created in your account management control panel.
The "User Name" is the same as your e-mail address. Type the "User Name", then click Next. The "User Name" must be the e-mail address of the POP mailbox you created in your account management control panel.. (The user name must be all lowercase).
Type mail.tigertech.net as the "Incoming Server", then click Next. (Leave the server type as "POP".)
Type mail.tigertech.net as the "Outgoing Server", then click Next. (Leave the "Allow authentication" box checked.)
Click Finish to close the New Account Wizard.
Although the wizard is finished, you need to make one more change to the account you just created to be able to send mail. Continue with the instructions below.
Locate the address you just created in the "Persona" section of the main Eudora account window. (The "Persona" section is in the upper-left of the Eudora window; if you don't see it, choose Personalities from the Tools menu to make it visible.)
Right click on the account you just created and choose Properties from the menu that appears.
In the Generic Properties tab:
(A note for advanced users: changing the outgoing mail port causes Eudora to send outgoing mail using SSL over port 465, which is the easiest way to work around any port 25 anti-spam blocking by your ISP.)
When you're finished with this screen, click OK.
If you're using Eudora 6.2 or later, you're finished. Try sending a test message to yourself to make sure it works.
If you're using a version of Eudora older than 6.2, you may receive an error message asking for an SSL certificate. If so, please see our topic explaining how to add SSL certificates to older versions of Eudora.
