- EUDORA LIGHT FOR MACINTOSH 3.1.3
- ================================
-
- This is version 3.1.3 of Eudora Light for Macintosh. This README provides
- information on the following topics:
-
- * Minimum Requirements
- * Drag and Drop Requirements
- * Installation
- * New Features and Changes in 3.1.3
- * License and Legal Information
-
- ======================
- MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
- ======================
-
- To use Eudora Light for Macintosh, you must have the following:
-
- * A Macintosh Plus or later model.
- * Macintosh System 7.0 or later.
- * A mail account with an Internet service provider or an Internet-style
- network account.
- * Access to your mail account via a modem or Internet-style network
- connection.
-
- ============================
- DRAG AND DROP REQUIREMENTS
- ============================
-
- If you do not have MacintoshÆ Drag and Drop running on your Macintosh,
- certain features may be disabled. Macintosh Drag and Drop is included in
- System 7.5 and System 7 Pro, but is not in earlier versions of System 7.
-
- Macintosh Drag and Drop requires that Finder 7.1.3 or newer is running for
- the Drag and Drop extensions to work properly. Installing the Drag and Drop
- extensions with an older Finder has been shown to cause strange behavior,
- and is not recommended.
-
- If you are running a system version with a Finder that is older than 7.1.3,
- you will be able to drag and drop within the Eudora application. However,
- you will not be able to drag between Eudora and other running applications.
-
-
- ==============
- INSTALLATION
- ==============
-
- You can install this version of Eudora Light over an earlier version of
- Eudora Light. Just follow the instructions below, and when you open the new
- version of Eudora, your Settings, mailboxes, etc. will be updated for the
- new version.
-
- To install Eudora Light, do the following:
-
- 1. Copy the Eudora Light software onto your hard disk.
- The latest version of Eudora Light for the Macintosh
- can be found at ftp.eudora.com or www.eudora.com. (If
- you are installing from diskettes, skip to the next step.)
- 2. Restart your Macintosh while holding down the shift key.
- This turns off your Macintosh extensions. (You must hold
- down the shift key until you see the message
- "Extensions off.")
- 3. If you are installing from diskettes, insert Eudora Light
- diskette 1 of 2 into your Macintosh diskette drive.
- 4. Double-click on the Eudora Light Installer icon to start the
- installation program. The Eudora Light splash screen is
- displayed. Click Continue to display the Eudora README window.
- Note: The contents of the README window can be printed or
- saved to a file for later review.
- 5. Once you have reviewed the contents of the README window,
- click Accept. The Eudora Install dialog is displayed, allowing
- you to select which items you want to install. To see a
- description of an item, click on the item (the description is
- displayed just below the selection area).
- 6. To install all of the items, be sure the default item
- Eudora Light is selected and click Install.
-
- To install just the items you want, select them by clicking
- on each one (hold down the command key to select multiple
- items, and be sure that the Eudora Light item is not selected),
- then click Install.
-
- If you selected the Eudora Light installation item, the Restart
- dialog is displayed, informing you that your Macintosh will
- need to be restarted at the end of the installation. Click Yes.
-
- The Eudora Version Selection dialog is displayed, allowing you
- to select which version you want to install.
-
- 680x0
- This is the smallest version. It runs on any Macintosh,
- including Power Macs, but on Power Macintoshes it is
- not as fast as the PowerPC or Universal versions.
-
- PowerPC
- This version runs only on Power Macintoshes. It does not
- run on standard 680x0 machines.
-
- Universal (or Fat)
- This version requires the most disk space. It runs on any
- Macintosh, and on a Power Macintosh runs as fast as the
- PowerPC version.
-
- 7. Select the version you want. A dialog is displayed asking you
- where you want to install the Eudora Light 3.1.3 Folder.
- 8. Select the destination folder and click Install. The install
- program begins installing the items you selected onto the
- appropriate locations on your disk.
- 9. If you are installing Eudora from diskettes, insert the
- appropriate installation diskette when you are prompted.
- 10. Once the installation is complete, you are prompted to
- restart your Macintosh.
- Click Restart.
-
- This completes the installation of the Eudora Light software. To find out
- how to set up Eudora so that you can send and receive e-mail, see the
- "Configuration" section in the README installed with the software, and also
- see the User Manual section "Opening and Configuring Eudora." For details
- about the files in the Eudora Folder (in your System Folder) and the Eudora
- Light Application Folder, see their corresponding sections in the Reference
- chapter of the User Manual.

- ===================================
- NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES IN 3.1.3
- ===================================
-
- Auto-configuration
- ________________
-
- Auto-configuration support has been added to Eudora
- by using the Internet standard Application Configuration
- Access Protocol (ACAP). ACAP is a client/server protocol
- which allows Eudora to retrieve configuration settings
- from a central server. These settings include those
- that must be set up for you to start sending and
- receiving e-mail, such as your POP account name and
- SMTP host.
-
- In order for you to use the auto-configuration settings, your
- system administrator or service provider must set up a central
- server with your personal settings. You can then download
- those settings whenever you like. Typically, you would do
- so only when you first start using Eudora. However, you
- can restore your settings to their original values at any time
- by downloading them down again.
-
- To download your settings, open the Settings dialog under
- the Special menu and click on the Auto. Configure icon. Fill
- in the ACAP Server Name and the ACAP Server Username fields;
- your system administrator or service provider should have told
- you what to enter in these fields. Click the Fetch
- Settings Now button and the Auto Configuration password dialog
- box appears. Type in your password in the password field
- and press the Configure Automatically button to download your
- settings from the ACAP server.
-
- The following ACAP-related information primarily for use by
- system administrators and/or service providers.
-
- If the "If no account configured, try fetching settings from an
- ACAP server" setting (#217) is on ("y"), then when Eudora is first
- launched (actually any time Eudora is launched without a POP
- account having been specified), the Auto-Configure panel of the
- Settings dialog is displayed. In the absence of that switch, the
- Settings dialog's Getting Started panel would appear instead.
-
- The setting for the ACAP Server is #218, and the setting for the
- ACAP Server Username is #219.
-
- The port ID used in communicating with the ACAP server is
- setting #10109.
-
- You can obtain detailed information on setting up an ACAP server
- to support Eudora clients on the Eudora web site. go to
- http://www.eudora.com/techsupport, click Frequently Asked
- Questions (FAQ), then click Automatic Initial Configuration with ACAP.
-
- Note: The upcoming version 2.0 release of the Eudora WorldMail Server
- will support auto-configuration of Eudora clients.
-
-
- Pre-configuring the POP server
- __________________________
-
- System administrators can now pre-configure Eudora by putting
- the Mail Host (POP) server name in the Settings dialog, so that
- the user needs only to add his or her account name. When Eudora
- is launched, it displays the Getting Started window of the Settings
- dialog, the Mail Host (e.g., domainname) displaying the correct
- Mail Host setup in your Settings panels.
-
- For example, suppose the Mail Host you required was assigned
- xyz.qualcomm.com. When you start Eudora, Getting Started automatically
- displays xyz.qualcomm.com in the Mail Host field. You just need to
- insert your username in the Username text field.
