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.
