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
<ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/quest/windows/eudora/documentation/>.
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
<ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/quest/unix/servers/password> 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
