Last modified: October 13 2005 11:39 am

This guide assumes your e-mail account is already setup and working in Eudora 5.2. If you have not already setup your account please click here for the POP3 and IMAP guides.

To begin open Eudora
 
1)Click 'Eudora' in the menu bar
2)Select 'Preferences...'

3)Highlight 'Sending Mail'
4)Put a tick in the 'Allow authorization' option

5)Highlight 'SSL' (you may need to scroll down to find it)
6)Click the double-arrows next to 'SSL for SMTP', and
7)Select 'Required (TLS)' from the drop-down list
8)Click [OK]
 
The next step is to get Eudora to use/install the Certificate

Setting up Eudora to use the certificate

For Eudora to use the certificate you will need to send a simple test e-mail to yourself. This process is necessary and will cause the test mail to fail. This is normal and always occurs the first time you use Secure SMTP.

1) Send a test mail to yourself. Address the e-mail to yourself, put 'Test' in the subject, and click the [Send] button
 
2)After sending, Eudora will display the certificate for your inspection
3)Click [OK] to continue

4)You will get an error message the first time (see above)
5)Close the 'Task Progress' window
6)Open your Outbox. You should see the test message with a 'Q' in the 'Status' area. Double-click the subject of the message to reopen it, then click the [Send] button again. The message should now send without error.
 
Eudora is now setup to send e-mail through SSL
