What are secure settings for Eudora?

Basic Security users may use TLS to encrypt POP,IMAP, and SMTP authentication. These settings are the same for both Macintosh and PC clones. Users must use Eudora 5.2.1 or above for TLS. The configurations are set under the Special menu.

Real Name: Enter your real name Return Address: Responce to your email will be sent to this address Mail Server (incoming): Your mail server Login Name: The first part of your email address before the "@" sign SMTP Server: Add "smtp." in front of your mail server

Checking Mail

Mail Server: Your mail server Login Name: The first part of your email address before hte "@" sign Check for mail every [15] minutes: Interval at which Eudora checks for new mail. Don't check without a network connection: Eudora does not try to check mail if you are offline. Don't check when using battery: Eudora does not try to check mail if you are running off a laptop battery. Save Password: Eudora will not ask you for a password every time if checked Secure Sockets when Receiving: "Alternate Port" will turn on TLS encryption
