Eudora is an easy-to-use software tool that reads and sends email messages. During the installation you will be asked for your name, email address, and Falcon Account username. If you are installing Eudora for off-campus use, you will also need to know the email and account information for your Internet Service Provider (ISP). If you do not already know your UW-River Falls email address and Falcon Account username, you can use the FAA tool to determine these.
If your campus computer has a paid version of Eudora for Windows provided by IT Services, then you already have a license to use Eudora for Windows on your home computer as well. IT Services has CDs with this software that you can borrow from 133 Davee Library. Call us first to arrange pick up at (715) 425-4357. You may also copy Eudora to a zip disk or USB drive from the network drive J:\Eudora\ForHome.
If you do not have Eudora for Windows installed on your campus computer, you will need to purchase this software before installing it at home.

address, login name, incoming mail server, (POP or IMAP), outgoing email server,
and whether authentication is required.
Important: After Eudora is configured for your ISP, see that you can send and receive email successfully through your ISP before proceeding.
