Auto Configure
Eudora needs basic information from you to send and receive mail. Normally you enter
this information in the first few windows of the Options windows, but if you like, you can
use the Auto Configure options to retrieve these basic settings from an ACAP server. Your
email administrator can let you know if such a server is available to you. ACAP, which
stands for Application Configuration Access Protocol, is a communications protocol that
lets email and other applications store setup data on and retrieve it from a central server.
To display the Auto Configure options window, do the following.
1 From the Tools menu, choose Options.
2 Scroll and click the Auto Configure icon. The Auto Configure options window appears.
