Eudora 5.1 - Basic Configuration

Once you have installed Eudora 5.1 for Macintosh, it is quite easy to configure it to download your Timewarp email. All configuration is done from the Settings box:

1. Open Eudora 5.1 by double clicking the hard drive, double clicking on the Eudora Application Folder and double clicking on the Eudora icon.
2. Select the Special menu and then select Settings. The Settings box will present the Getting Started category highlighted like so:



3. Type in the following:
• Username: replace with your own username (your email address but with @ instead of .)
• Mail Server: mail.timewarp.co.uk
• Real name: this is where you type the name that people see when you send an email to them. Just display name not important..
• SMTP Server: mail.timewarp.co.uk
• Return address: if this is the same as your e-mail address you do not need to fill this in.


4. Now click on the Checking Mail category and you will see the following settings appear:



Eudora 5.1 will copy both the Username and Mail Server details.

5. Make sure that you have POP selected for Mail Protocol
6. Make sure that you have Passwords selected for Authentication

The rest of the settings are optional however Timewarp has found that some of them can streamline the use of Eudora. For example ticking Save Password means you will not have to re-type your password every time you check your mail. Also, you can set Eudora 5.1 to Check for mail every X number of minutes. In other words, check your email account for new email automatically. Timewarp recommends the following settings for the Checking Mail category:

• Save password - ticked
• Check for mail every 10 minute(s)
• Use background threading - ticked
• Send on check - ticked
7. Next click the Sending Mail category and you will see the following:



Again Eudora 5.1 will copy the SMTP server details. Most other other settings here are again optional however some can be very useful. For example ticking Keep Copies allows you to keep a copy of every email you send in your Out box, for your own records. For smooth emailing Timewarp recommends the following settings for the Sending Mail category:

• Allow authorization - ticked
• Immediate send - ticked
• Send on check - ticked
• Use separate thread for sending - ticked
• Fix curly quotes - ticked
• Keep copies - ticked
8. Next click the SSL category and you will see the following:



All of the SSL settings should be set to None

Those are all the settings you need, your installation of Eudora 5.1 is now configured for use with your Timewarp email account!
