Checking for and Recieving Mail

You can manually check for new e-mail, or set Eudora to check automatically.

To check for mail manually, do the following:

  1. From the File menu select Check Mail.

  2. If Eudora asks for your password, type it in the Password dialog and click OK (Eudora passwords are "case-sensitive")

  3. If there is no new mail, a "no mail" alert is displayed; click "OK."

  4. If you have new mail, Eudora transfers the messages one by one and then displays a "New Mail" alert; click "OK."

  5. New mesages are delivered to your IN mailbox. This mailbox opens automatically and your new message summaries are added to the end of the mailbox list. Double click a message summary to open it.

To set up automatic mail checking, do the following:

  1. Choose "Settings" from the Special Menu.

  2. Choose the "Checking Mail" icon.

  3. Fill in the box next to Check for mail every ___ minutes (15 is the recommend time to put here.)
