Eudora for Windows

Overview

Eudora version 6.0 works with the CSIT email system and it was used for the documentation below. Earlier versions have known problems with @csit email and are not recommended. Eudora supports both IMAP and POP protocols. For information regarding which protocol is right for you, see General IMAP and POP comparison.

Configuration

New Installation

• Go to the FSU User Services website, and download Eudora for Windows.

NOTE: You will probably want to allow the default settings to install. If you are replacing another email program, Eudora will ask if you wish to import mail and settings from another mail program.

Getting Started:

• Open Eudora
• Click on 'Tools' and then 'Options'

• Begin with 'Getting Started'

• Change your mail servers to,
  • Incoming: email.csit.fsu.edu
  • Outgoing: smtp.csit.fsu.edu
• Verify there is a check in the 'Allow Authentication' box
• Go to 'Checking Mail'

• Under 'Secure Sockets when receiving' use the dropdown to select 'Required, Alternate Port'

• Go to 'Sending Mail'

• If this occurs, go to 'Tools', 'Options', 'Checking Mail' and click on the 'Last SSL Info' button.

• The following will open.

The certificate must be added as 'Trusted' in order to successfully negotiate email transfer.

• Click on 'Certificate Information Manager' bar.
• The 'Certificate Information Manager' opens.

• Click on the '+' sign next to the skull and crossbones.
• Click on the Server certificate from csit.fsu.edu.
• Click on the 'Add To Trusted' bar.

• That should add the certificate under 'User Trusted Certificates'.

• Click 'Done'
• Click 'OK'
• Click 'OK'

Check your mail to verify settings are correct. If you receive an error message, please review your settings and try again. If you are unable to send or receive mail, enter a Remedy ticket and a member of the TSG will contact you as soon as possible.
