Email Setup Guide
- Eudora 5.2.1 for the PC - IMAP
Last modified: October 13 2005 11:39 am
This guide is for Eudora 5.2.1 only and assumes you have just installed the application. If you have previously used Eudora, or are currently using it for another email account you will not see the 'New Account Wizard' when you open the application. To launch the Account Wizard: click the 'Tools' menu > select 'Personalities' > right-click the personalities window > and select 'New' from the drop-down list. If you are unable to select the 'New' option you may be using the 'Eudora Light' freeware application. If you need to setup multiple accounts/personalities you will need to upgrade to the full featured version or use a different email client (e.g. Outlook Express).
