The main difference between Eudora and other e-mail clients is that you have to include "mail" in the e-mail address. For example, yourname@your_company.com would need to be entered into Eudora as [email protected]_company.com Other than that, setup is fairly simple.

WARNING: SMTP authentication doesn't work with Eudora 3. If you require SMTP authentication, please upgrade to Eudora 4.3+.
