| 63072 | 2002-07-16 10:47:00 | Hi everyone, I have been having second thoughts about Outlook, having read some rather disturbing things on this forum. Where would I go to read up on Eudora. Do you get to keep your present email address ie: XXXX@xtra.co.nz How do you configure Eudora, and is it like a Hotmail - in that you only have a certain size mailbox. Regards, BALDY |

| 63073 | 2002-07-16 11:08:00 | size of email box and email address is to do with the isp not which email cleint u use. see www.eudora.com for info. configing eudora is a little different to outlook but you will get used to it ;-) |

| 63074 | 2002-07-16 11:11:00 | I've been using Eudora Lite (and free) for years and it suits me fine. I found it easy to set up, much more straight forward than Outlook. I don't think you could compare it to hotmail, and if you need more than the "lite" version there is Eudora Pro (not free) which has more options than I will ever need. There is a very helpfull newsgroup < comp.mail.eudora.ms-windows > where you can get answers to most Eudora questions. Don't overlook Pegasus either. (also free) Look them up in google and download them and see how you like them....Cheers Ken |

| 63075 | 2002-07-16 11:21:00 | Hi Baldy, I to had my doubts at first with changing from OE to Eudora, but have no regrets. If an old coot like me can do it then anyone can. It virtually does its self. I even made the change to Opera and not regretted that either. cheers merlin-nz ;) |

| 63077 | 2002-07-16 11:41:00 | I made the transition to Eudora several months ago and made the choice to select the sponsored version which has a few more features than the Lite version. I found Eudora very easy to configure and a great feature is that it allows you to import your address book from your previos email client as well as the actual mail. The info pages have already been suggested in one of the replies above which is also the location to start the download. A full manual can also be download which is in Adobe Acrobat. Cheers Smurf |

| 63078 | 2002-07-16 11:46:00 | Hi Baldy, I found Euroda surprisingly simple to set up. In fact I went through all the menus looking for the advanced section. If I remember rightly, Eudora will ask you a few questions like your name, email address, and servers (which will be pop3.xtra.co.nz for incoming and smtp.xtra.co.nz for outgoing) and where you want to put the program! Have a tootu, you won't break it! :D |

| 63079 | 2002-07-16 12:18:00 | Incase you use multiple accounts, eudora does support them. But just about every review I've read has claimed that it doesn't. Its a bit more akward than most programmes but it works well once its setup. You do it by creating a Personality for each account. |

| 63080 | 2002-07-16 12:21:00 | If you are going to try Eudora Light just bear in mind that the Pop account field which you access from Tools/Options/Getting started is a combination of your username and pop server. It is set up as username@pop3.xtra.co.nz The only other things you need to add are your email address and Outgoing SMTP server address. Later versions have a seperate field for Account name (username) and Incoming POP3 server as do most other mail programs. |

| 63081 | 2002-07-18 04:56:00 | I started using Eudora in 1998 (because I've always hated and had trouble with Outlook) and it's never failed. I've only replaced it recently with Incredimail because of Incredimail's features. :-) | cadifan (286) | ||
