Installation
------------

To install Eudora, follow these directions:

1.   Exit any applications you are running.

2.   If you are installing from a software archive,
     double-click on it to start the Setup program.

     If you are installing from diskette, insert the
     Eudora Pro diskette 1 into drive A: of your PC.
     Then select Run... from the Start menu, enter
     A:Setup.exe, and click OK.

3.   Read the Welcome screen, then click Next.
     The Software License Agreement is displayed.

4.   Read the Software License Agreement and click Next
     (you can also save or print the Agreement).

5.   Specify a directory to install Eudora, then
     click Next.

     To upgrade an older version of Eudora Light,
     select your current Eudora directory. All of your
     messages, mailboxes, folders, and options will
     be maintained.

6.   Select the version of the software that you want
     to install, 16- or 32-bit. Based on the operating
     system and connectivity software that you are
     running, the Setup program recommends an appropriate
     version.

7.   Verify that the displayed settings are correct,
     then click Next (or use the Back button if you need
     to go back and make changes).

8.   If you are installing from diskette, you are
     prompted to insert additional diskettes into drive A.

9.  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, an "@" sign, and
the full (domain) name of the computer.
For example, if your assigned login name
is "carolyn," and the name of the computer
where you receive e-mail is "uxh.cso.uiuc.edu,"
type "[e-mail]" in this field.

Real Name:  Type your real name.  Your name,
as it appears here, is displayed in parentheses
after your return address in your outgoing mail.
It is also displayed in the sender column of
all messages you send.

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.eudora.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 Options... from 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 operating system.
It will not work for Windows NT or Windows 95.

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
in 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 quest/unix/servers/password on
ftp.eudora.com 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

Developer's Note
----------------

Eudora Light is postcardware!

If you try out Eudora, and decide that you'd
like to use it on a regular basis, then just
send a postcard to the following address:

Jeff Beckley
Eudora Division
QUALCOMM Incorporated
6455 Lusk Blvd.
San Diego, CA  92121-2779
USA

Postcards that have something to do with where
you live are an especially good choice, as we
like to see all the interesting places that
Eudora is being used.  Humorous or unusual
postcards are a favorite, and you never
know when we may decide that someone's postcard
was interesting enough to make them a tester
for the commercial version of Eudora.
