Eudora Setup


Warning: PC50 will be retired soon. It is an ancient computer running Windows NT. If it dies, it will NOT be restored. Files used on Windows computers should be stored in your personal directory on \\samba\user\.

If you are still using PC50, contact the LEPP computer group immediately at service-lepp@cornell.edu so your files can be migrated to \\samba\user\
The use of Eudora is strongly discouraged. If you are accessing Cornell's central mail system, you should be using Outlook, Outlook Web Access or Apple Mail. See http://www.cit.cornell.edu/services/guides/email/index.cfm Mozilla Thunderbird should be used for other mail services. See ThunderbirdConfiguration for details.

This page contains instructions for configuring Eudora to check email at the lab. If you would like to use the New Account Wizard, please jump here. Otherwise, if you would like to modify a current account, or if you would like to create a new account using the advanced setup, please jump here.

If you already have Eudora configured on your system but would like to move your mail files to PC50, please see here.

Moving Eudora mail folders to PC50

If you are a windows user, follow these instructions to move existing Eudora mail folders to your directory on PC50. This will allow you to log onto any PC in LEPP and use Eudora to check your email. These steps also allow multiple people to use Eudora on the same PC, and only view their own mail.

      Z:\dab66 or \\PC50\Users\dab66
    • Right Click in your window and choose New -> Folder to create a folder. When the folder appears, the name will be highlighted with a blinking cursor. Re-name the folder eudora_mail
  2. Copy existing mail folders to your eudora_mail folder on PC50.
    • Open a new window and browse to the eudora folder in your Program Files, C:\Program Files\Bear Access\winba\eudora
    • Copy and Paste the folders (if they exist) titled Imap and Pop to your eudora_mail folder on PC50.
  3. Create a shortcut to eudora.exe on your desktop, and modify the shortcut to point to your eudora_mail folder on PC50.
    • Open a new window and browse to the eudora folder in your Program Files, C:\Program Files\Bear Access\winba\eudora
    • Right Click on the eudora.exe icon in C:\Program Files\Bear Access\winba\eudora and drag it to your desktop. When you let go of the right mouse button, choose Create Shortcut Here
    • Close all open windows
    • Right Click on the eudora.exe icon on your desktop, and choose Properties
    • Click in the Target: text field after the last quotation mark, and insert the path to your eudora_mail box, ie. //PC50/Users/dab66/eudora_mail
    • Replace the text in Start in: with the same path to your eudora_mail box, ie. //PC50/Users/dab66/eudora_mail
