Eudora Light Configuration

 

NOTE: CNM Network is not associated with Eudora or Qualcomm in any way. This guide is provided as a convenience to CNM Customers. This guide was created using the 32 bit Eudora Light client, version 3.0.6.

SECURITY NOTE: Users who have Eudora Pro Email 4.0 for Windows and Eudora Pro Email 4.0.1 for Windows should be aware that having certain features enabled can be a security risk. Users who have an affected version of Eudora are recommended to visit Eudora's site to download a patch. This issue can be temporarily dealt with by disabling the Microsoft Viewer in Eudora.

The following steps are from a security alert from Qualcomm to registered users of the affected versions:

1. In Eudora, go to the Tools menu and choose "Options".
2. On the left hand side of the options window, select "Viewing Mail".
3. On the right hand side of the options windows, make sure the box next to "Use Microsoft's Viewer" is UNCHECKED.
4. Click on "OK" on the bottom of the window.

Setting Up Eudora For Use With CNM Network

  1. Open Eudora.
  2. Click on "Tools", then select "Options".

  3. Click on "Getting Started".

  4. For "POP account", put your [email protected].
    NOTE: POP stands for Post Office Protocol. The POP server is the server which your mail program connects to when checking for new mail. The name of CNM's POP server is popd.cnmnetwork.com. Your POP account name is the username of your dial-up or incremental account, followed by an @ symbol and the POP server name (e.g., "[email protected]").

    A common mistake would be to place only your username (e.g., "joeblow") or e-mail address (e.g., "[email protected]") here. This would prevent you from being able to access the incoming mail server to check for new mail.

    Another common mistake is to use spaces (e.g., [email protected] network.com) or upper-case letters (e.g., [email protected]) here. All letters should be lower-case, and there should be no spaces.

  5. For "Real name", place your name as you want it to appear in the "From" field of an e-mail message.
    NOTE: In most cases, a person would place their real name or username here. However, this need not be your real name or username. It can be whatever you choose.

  6. For "Return address", place the e-mail address you want people to send mail to when they reply to your messages.
    NOTE: In most cases, you should place your e-mail address here (e.g., [email protected]).

  7. Click on "Hosts".

  8. For "SMTP", put "smtp.cnmnetwork.com".
    NOTE: SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. The SMTP server is the server your mail program connects to when sending mail. The name of CNM's SMTP server is smtp.cnmnetwork.com.

    A common mistake is to use spaces (e.g., smtp.cnm network.com), upper-case letters (e.g., SMTP.CNMNetwork.com), or the @ symbol (e.g., [email protected]) here. All letters should be lower-case, and there should be no spaces or @ symbols.

  9. Click on "Checking Mail".

  10. Make sure there is a check next to "Save password" if you don't want to enter your password every time you check for new mail messages.

  11. Click "OK".
