<H3>Changing Your Password</H3>
<P>Your incoming mail server may require that you enter a password in order to
check your mail. If the computer that runs this server has the right software,
you can change your account password right from within Eudora. If you have multiple
password-controlled accounts and the above condition applies for each, you can
change the password for each account in Eudora.</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>1. To change your password(s), do one of the following:</P>
<UL>
<LI>To change your password if you have only one email account, or to change
the password for your Dominant account if you have multiple email accounts
multiple personalities), select the <B>Special>Change Password...</B>
command.</LI>
</UL>

<P>OR</P>

2. In the Password dialog that displays, type your current password (for
the personality) and click OK.
<P> Another dialog appears, asking you for your new password.</P>
<P>3. Type your new password and click OK </P>
<P> To verify the change, Eudora asks you for the new password again.</P>
<P>4. Type your new password again and click OK.</P>
<P> Eudora tells you if your password is accepted.</P>
<P>5. If you selected multiple personalities in step 1, then repeat steps
2 through 4 above for each selected personality as you are prompted.</P>

<H4>Tips:</H4>
<UL>
<LI>The above procedure works only if the incoming mail server is running a
compatible password-change server. For information about these servers, see
the "Sources" the online Eudora User Manual.<BR>
<BR>
</LI>
<LI>For your own protection, many password servers are strict about passwords.
When you choose a new password, make sure it's at least six characters
long and is not a dictionary word, name, date, familiar acronym, or anything
else that could be guessed. Some servers require that you have at least one
number or symbol in your password, and you may want to do that even if it
is not required.<BR>
<BR>
</LI>
<LI>Depending on the password server you are using, the password can be up to
30 characters, but it is normally only 7 or 8.</LI>
