Eudora email settings for PC version 7.x

Before proceeding, there are two things to note.  

The first note is that we highly recommend that you use the latest available version of Eudora available at www.eudora.com . (That should be version 7.0.1 or newer)  

The second item to note is that UMKC no longer has a site license for Eudora.  UMKC no longer supports Eudora, and these instructions are provided for you information on an as-is basis only.

These instructions are primarily for the PC version of Eudora, but the same settings apply for the Mac version.  (The menus will vary slightly.)

(Skip to Existing Eudora Clients section if you have previously configured Eudora on your machine.)
