Eudora User Manual Incoming Mail

Check for mail every _ minute(s)—If you enter a number greater than zero in this field, then at regular intervals, Eudora automatically checks your incoming mail server for new mail and transfers to your PC any mail addressed to your primary account. The number you enter here specifies the number of minutes between automatic mail-checks. It’s a good idea to set this at no less than 15 minutes. Checking mail more frequently may over- work your incoming mail server. This option only works when Eudora is running. Entering 0 in this field turns off automatic mail-checking.

Don’t check without a network connection—If this is selected, Eudora will not attempt to retrieve mail unless you are connected to a network.

Don’t check when using battery—If this is selected and your PC is running on battery power, mail is not automatically checked even if automatic mail-checking is selected; that is, the “Check for mail every _ minute(s)” field has a number greater than zero in it.

Send on check—If this is selected, any messages that are queued in the Out mailbox are sent when a mail-check is performed, whether the mail-check is automatic or manual. If this is turned off, messages queued in the Out box are not sent during a mail check.

Save password—If this is selected, your password is remembered even if you quit and restart Eudora, so you’ll never be prompted to enter it. If this is turned off, you must enter your password each time you quit and restart Eudora. Select this option only if your PC is in a secure place.
