Using Multiple Personalities

(Sponsored and Paid modes only)

Using Alternate Email Accounts

You can set up alternate “personalities” in Eudora for each email account you have. For example, if you have work, home, and school email accounts, you can set up Eudora to send and receive email from each of these accounts, all without having to quit and restart Eudora. That is, you can check mail for all your accounts at once or for selected accounts at once, and you can do the same for sending mail.

To set up a personality, you use the Personalities window, New Account Wizard, and the Account Settings dialog box as described in this section. Your “dominant” personality, or principal email account, is set up when you install Eudora and can also be modified via the Account Settings dialog box.

Personalities Window

You use the Personalities window to manage, access, and apply your e-mail accounts — “personalities” — when you use more than one account.

To open the Personalities window, do the following.

From the Tools menu, choose Personalities. Or, if the Personalities window is in a visible tabbed window, click its tab.

Sample Personalities window

The Personalities window displays two columns of data:

Persona— The identifying name assigned to the personality. <Dominant> indicates your principal email account, which is the account Eudora uses whenever you don’t specify otherwise and is the account associated with all mail stored before you began using alternate personalities.

Account— The incoming mail account assigned to the personality. This is generally in the form loginname@incomingmailserver. See “Account Settings Dialog” on page 83. Click the page number to display the topic.
