1. Getting to your Eudora Options

   To review your Eudora 7 settings, open the Tools menu in Eudora and select "Options."

   

2. Getting Started

   In the "Getting Started" category, you should have your name and return address (your Sonic.net email address). The Mail Server is "pop.sonic.net," the User Name is your Sonic.net account name, and the SMTP Server is "mail.sonic.net." Your User Name should be in lowercase.

   

3. Checking Mail

   In the "Checking Mail" category, the Mail Server is "pop.sonic.net," your User Name is your Sonic.net account name (in lowercase). For your convenience, we recommend enabling "Send on check."

   

4. Incoming Mail

   In the "Incoming Mail" category, the Server configuration should be specified as "POP" and authentication should be specified as "Password." All other checkboxes should be left unmarked unless you have a compelling reason.

   

5. Sending Mail

   In the "Sending Mail" category, your Email address should be your Sonic.net email address. This is the address that mail will be sent to when people reply to messages you have sent them. Your SMTP server is mail.sonic.net. For your convenience we recommend checking "Allow authentication," "Immediate Send," "Send on check," and "Use submission port (587)."
