======================== Eudora Light for Windows ======================== ------------- Version 1.5.4 ------------- This is the freeware version of Eudora for Windows. There is also a commercial version of Eudora called Eudora Pro (Version 2.0 and above). If you would like information about the commercial version, a brief description is provided in the Help menu of this freeware. Select About Eudora Pro to display this dialog. You can also subscribe to the QUALCOMM Enterprise Software Technologies (QUEST) mailing list by selecting QUEST News from the Help menu. This list will provide subscribers with occasional information about Eudora, Eudora Pro, and other QUEST products. The Windows freeware user manual can be found at . The user manual is formatted in Word for Windows version 2.0 format. -------------------- Minimum Requirements -------------------- Eudora Light requires the following: - IBM PC or compatible. - Microsoft Windows 3.1 for 16-bit version; Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.5 for 32-bit version. - Winsock 1.1 API compliant networking package (not needed for serial connection). - A mail account with an Internet Service Provider or an Internet-style network. - Access to your mail account via a modem (9600 bps or higher recommended) or Internet-style network connection. - Microsoft (or compatible) mouse (highly recommended) - At least 2M of free disk space (more depending on mailbox sizes) ------------ Installation ------------ To install Eudora, download the software archive (eu154b13.exe) into a directory on your PC. Double click on the archive to unpack it into the same directory, then follow these directions: 1. Exit any applications you are running. 2. In the Windows Explorer or File Manager, double-click on Setup.exe to start the Setup program. 3. Read the Welcome screen, then click Next. 4. Specify a directory to install Eudora, or your current Eudora directory if you have one, then click Next. 5 Specify which version of Eudora you wish to install, then click Next. If you are unsure of which version to install, follow the recommendation made by the Setup program. If you choose to install the 32-bit version of Eudora but do not have 32-bit TCP/IP software, you will receive an error message. The 32-bit version will not work without 32-bit TCP/IP software, so you are given the option to install the 16-bit version instead. 6. Verify that the displayed settings are correct, then click Next (or use the Back button if you need to go back and make changes). 7. Eudora is installed in the destination directory, and you are prompted for whether or not you want to view the README file. Click Yes. Note: Always keep the Help file in the same directory as the executable. ------------- Configuration ------------- The first time you run Eudora you will have to edit some of the configuration information in order to be able to send and receive mail. Select Options... from the Tools Menu. The fields you need to review are: POP Account: To use Eudora, you must have an account on a computer that runs a POP3 server. This is the account to which your e-mail messages are delivered before they are transferred to the Eudora program on your PC. In this field, type your login name for this account and the full (domain) name of the computer, separating them with an "@" sign. For example, if your assigned login name is "jsmith", and the name of the computer where you receive e-mail is "mailhost.wxyz.com", type "jsmith@mailhost.wxyz.com" in this field. Real Name: Type your real name. Your name, as it appears here, is displayed along with your return address in your outgoing mail. SMTP Server: To send mail, a computer with an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server program is necessary. You need not have a login to this computer, but you must have access to it through your network. If the computer on which you have your POP account is also an SMTP server, leave this field blank. Otherwise, specify the name of the computer you want to use as your SMTP server. Return Address: Normally, Eudora uses your POP account as your return address. If you wish to use a return address other than your POP account, enter it here. If you have the New Mail Notification "Sound" switch on, then when new mail arrives, you will hear a notification sound. In order for this to work, your system must have a properly configured sound board, or you must have installed the Sound Driver for PC-Speaker (anonymous ftp from ftp.qualcomm.com the file /quest/windows/utils/SPEAK.EXE). Eudora has a built-in sound, but if you wish to supply your own, it must be in .WAV format. To change the default new mail sound, select the Settings... menu item in the Special menu, and then select the Getting Attention category. Select the button under the "Play a sound" checkbox, and a dialog will prompt you for the sound file. Note that this driver will only work for the Windows 3.X and Windows 95 operating systems. It will not work for Windows NT. If the mail you are sending is bouncing back to you saying that the message does not have a Date: header, add the following entry to your EUDORA.INI file: [Settings] TimeZone=xxxnnnyyy where xxx, yyy are timezone abbreviations like PST, PDT, CDT, and nnn is the offset in hours WEST of GMT (i.e., those that are east of GMT should enter a negative number here). xxx is the timezone during Standard Time and yyy is the timezone during Daylight Savings Time. If you do not change your clocks during Daylight Savings Time, leave yyy blank. Here's some samples: TimeZone=PST8PDT TimeZone=EST5EDT TimeZone=MET-1 If you don't specify a TimeZone entry, then a Date: header will not be put jsmita outgoing messages, which is fine for most users because their mail server will insert the correct Date: header. The moral is: if you don't get messages bounced because of a missing Date: header, then leave the TimeZone entry alone. --------------- TCP/IP Services --------------- Eudora makes use of several different TCP/IP services, and has default port numbers for these services. Most sites put these services on the default ports, but some may not. Contact your site network administrator to make sure that the following services listed below are indeed on the default port numbers. If they aren't, you'll have to make some changes to some configuration file(s) in your TCP/IP package (usually to a SERVICES file). Below are a list of the services which Eudora uses, and what they might look like in a typical services file. The names of these services must be exactly as named here (e.g., the entry for the POP3 service must be "pop3" and not "pop-3"). Make sure that you make any changes necessary for your TCP/IP package to specify the location of the SERVICES file. To send mail: smtp 25/tcp To receive mail: pop3 110/tcp To use Ph (if your site has a Ph server): csnet-ns 105/tcp To use Finger (if your site supports finger): finger 79/tcp To use the Change Password... function in Eudora, your site must have a password changing server installed. See the directory for examples of password changing servers): epass 106/tcp There are also entries in the [Settings] section of the EUDORA.INI file for default port numbers of services. These are provided for setups in which the SERVICES file cannot be modified. Do not use these entries unless the services are not on default port numbers and you cannot modify them in your TCP/IP package. Here are sample INI entries: [Settings] SMTPPort=25 POPPort=110 PHPort=105 FingerPort=79 EudoraPassPort=106 ------------------ Freeware Questions ------------------ If you have a technical question about Eudora Light, please check the README file and user manual for the answer.

If you try out Eudora, and decide that you'd like to use it on a regular basis, then just send a postcard to the following address: Jeff Beckley QUEST QUALCOMM Incorporated 6455 Lusk Blvd. San Diego, CA 92121-2779 USA Postcards that have something to do with where you live are an especially good choice, as I like to see all the interesting places that Eudora is being used. Humorous or unusual postcards are a favorite of mine, and you never know when I may decide that someone's postcard was interesting enough to make them a tester for the commercial version of Eudora.
