Getting Started options window

Select the options you want to change. Options are described below.

Real name—This is the real name assigned to your principal account, generally your first and last name. The text you enter here is included in the From: field of all your outgoing messages from this account. It identifies you to your recipients.

Return address—This is the return email address used in outgoing messages and recipi- ents’ replies, if this address is different from your incoming mail account. The address you enter here is included in the From: field of all your outgoing messages from this account, and when a recipient replies to a message from this account, the reply is sent to this address. If you do not enter an address in this field, Eudora uses your incoming mail account as the return address. Incoming mail accounts are usually of the form login- name@incomingmailserver. For example, suppose your incoming mail account is rclark@worldmail.myfirm.com but your return address is rclark@myfirm.com. This is slightly different. You would then enter rclark@myfirm.com in this field.

Note. If you do enter an address in this field, first test the address to be sure that mail sent to it is indeed delivered to you. If you use an invalid return address, no one will be able to reply to your mail.

Mail Server (Incoming)—This is the name of the incoming-mail server for your principal email account. All incoming messages to your primary account are routed through this server. Use the Incoming Mail options window to specify whether this server uses POP (Post Office Protocol) or IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol). A sample server name might be worldmail.myfirm.com.

Login Name—This is the name you use to log in to your primary email account for accounts that require a user login. For example, in the incoming mail account rclark@worldmail.myfirm.com, the login name is rclark. All accounts require a login name.
