Configuring Eudora for Macintosh

Eudora is free program for checking, managing and sending email. It has three modes of operation in version 5 (required for these instructions): sponsored (free with ads), light (free with fewer features) and paid (all features with no ads). We only support the sponsored or paid modes, as the ability to use multiple email accounts is only available in those two modes and is required for this setup.

Checking mode

If you need to switch Eudora to paid or sponsored mode, or are not sure what mode you are currently running it in, select Payment and Registration from the Help menu. The current mode will be highlighted:

Simply click the appropriate button to select the mode you want, keeping in mind these instructions require Sponsored Mode or Paid Mode.

7. Select the personality name you created in step 2 from the popup menu near the top of the window. If the mail protocol is not already IMAP, set it to IMAP. The Location prefix box should be empty. The download options can be set to your preference:
