========================== Eudora Light for Windows Version 3.0.6 16- and 32-bit ========================== This is the freeware version of Eudora for Windows. There is also a commercial version of Eudora called Eudora Pro. If you would like information about the commercial version, a brief description is provided in the "About Eudora Pro" menu in this freeware. This README includes the following information: * Minimum Requirements * Installation * New Features * Other Recent Feature Additions * Configuration * TCP/IP Services * Freeware Questions * Bug Reports * Requests for Features * Developers Note * License and Legal Information ---------------------- Minimum Requirements ---------------------- To use Eudora Light for Windows V3.0.6, you must have the following: * IBM-compatible PC. * For 16-bit Eudora: Windows 3.1, 3.11, or Workgroups For 32-bit Eudora: Windows 95, NT 3.51, or NT 4.0 * WinSock 1.1 API-compliant networking package (not needed for serial connection) * A mail account with an ISP (Internet Service Provider) or an Internet-style network, providing an SMTP service and a POP3 service. * Access to your mail account via a modem (9600bps or higher recommended) or Internet-style network connection. ------------ Installation ------------ To install Eudora, follow these directions: 1. Exit any applications you are running. 2. If you are installing from a software archive, double-click on it to start the Setup program. If you are installing from diskette, insert the Eudora Light diskette 1 into drive A: of your PC. Then select Run... from the Start menu, enter A:Setup.exe, and click OK. 3. Read the Welcome screen, then click Next. The Software License Agreement is displayed. 4. Read the Software License Agreement and click Next (you can also save or print the Agreement). 5. Specify a directory to install Eudora, then click Next. To upgrade an older version of Eudora Light, select your current Eudora directory. All of your messages, mailboxes, folders, and options will be maintained. 6. Select the version of the software that you want to install, 16- or 32-bit. Based on the operating system and connectivity software that you are running, the Setup program recommends an appropriate version. 7. Verify that the displayed settings are correct, then click Next (or use the Back button if you need to go back and make changes). 8. If you are installing from diskette, you are prompted to insert additional diskettes into drive A. 9. Eudora is installed in the destination directory, and you are prompted for whether or not you want to view the README file. Click Yes. Note: Always keep the Help file in the same directory as the executable (.exe). ------------ New Features ------------ Auto-configuration (32-bit only) -------------------------------- Auto-configuration support, using the Internet standard Application Configuration Access Protocol (ACAP), has been added to Eudora. ACAP is a client/server protocol which allows Eudora to retrieve configuration settings from a central server. These settings include the ones that must be set up in order for you to start sending and receiving e-mail, such as the name of your POP account and SMTP host. This saves you from having to enter all of that information yourself. In order for you to use auto-configuration, your system administrator or service provider must have set up a central server with your personal settings. You can then download those settings whenever you like; typically you would do so only when first starting to use Eudora, but you can do so at any later time if you want to restore your settings to their original values. To download your settings, open the Options dialog under the Tools menu and click on the Auto-Configure icon. Fill in the Server Name, User Name, and Password fields; your system administrator or service provider should have told you what to enter in these fields. Clicking on the Retrieve Settings Now button will cause your settings to be downloaded from the ACAP server. The following ACAP-related information should be of use primarily to system administrators and/or service providers. If the switch UseACAPServer=1 is present in Eudora.ini, then when Eudora is first launched (actually any time Eudora is launched without a POP account having been specified), the Auto-Configure panel of the Options dialog comes up. In the absence of that switch, the Options dialog's Getting Started panel would come up instead. The name of the ACAP server can be specified in Eudora.ini, so that the user doesn't have to type it in, by inserting a switch of the form ACAPServer=servername (replacing "servername" by the actual name, of course). Similarly, a switch of the form ACAPUserID=username can be used to specify the user name to be passed to the ACAP server. The port ID used in communicating with the ACAP server can be specified in Eudora.ini by inserting a switch of the form ACAPPort=portnumber. The default is port 674. You can obtain detailed information on setting up an ACAP server to support Eudora clients on the Eudora web site. Go to http://www.eudora.com/techsupport, click on the "Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)" link, and then click on the "Automatic Initial Configuration with ACAP" link. The upcoming version 2.0 release of the Eudora WorldMail server will support auto-configuration of Eudora clients. RPA authentication ------------------ RPA has been added as an authentication style; this shows up in the Checking Mail panel of the Options dialog under the Tools menu. Checking this authentication style allows you to download messages from a CompuServe POP3 server. Before you can use the RPA authentication style, you'll need to obtain a support module for RSA from your service provider. For example, for CompuServe you'll need the Virtual Key software, which can be downloaded from this Web site: . RPA support was first introduced in the 32-bit version of Eudora 3.0.3, and is now available in the 16-bit version as well. Pre-configuring the POP server ------------------------------ System administrators can now pre-configure Eudora by putting the POP server name in Eudora.ini, so that the user only needs to add his or her account name. If the POPAccount switch in Eudora.ini is of the form POPAccount=domainname or POPAccount=@domainname, then when Eudora is launched it will bring up the Getting Started panel of the Options dialog, and the POP account field will show whatever domain name is in the POPAccount switch. (Formerly, entering anything after POPAccount= in Eudora.ini would stop Getting Started from coming up automatically.) For example, suppose Eudora.ini says POPAccount=@xyz.qualcomm.com. When the user starts Eudora, Getting Started will automatically display, with @xyz.qualcomm.com in the POP account field, so that the user just needs to insert his or her account name at the start of that string. Enhanced third-party developer support -------------------------------------- Eudora plug-ins that run in the on-arrival context now operate on all messages, not just ones that are MIME formatted. See the web page for more information on Eudora plug-in development. -------------------- Other Recent Changes -------------------- * A Return Address field has been added to the Getting Started panel of the Options dialog box. Return Address is still in the Personal Info, Sending Mail, and Personalities panels of the Options dialog box. * A new Using Context Sensitive Help dialog box is displayed the first time you launch Eudora (or when the Eudora.ini file does not exist). This dialog box contains tips on using context- sensitive help in Eudora. You can read the same information at any time via Using Context Sensitive Help under the Help menu. * A new switch, WordWrapOnScreen, has been added to the [Settings] category in the Eudora.ini file. When word wrapping is enabled and when WordWrapOnScreen is set to 1, lines wrap in the composition window at the same positions as when the message is sent. (Otherwise, the width of the composition window determines where the lines appear to wrap.) This can occur only if you and your recipient's composition window is wide enough on both screens for the column width specified, and that you use a fixed-width font, such as Courier, to compose the message. To define the columns, the switch WordWrapOnScreen must be manually added to the Eudora.ini file and set to 1 (WordWrapOnScreen=1), and WordWrapColumn must be set to the column number you wish the text to wrap (WordWrapColumn=70 for 70 columns). * Dragging the dump truck icon onto a folder icon in the mailbox list now causes the folder to open automatically. ------------- Configuration ------------- The first time you run Eudora, you will have to edit some of the configuration information in order to be able to send and receive mail. Select Options... from the Tools Menu. The fields you need to review are: POP Account: To use Eudora, you must have an account on a computer that runs a POP3 server. This is the account to which your e-mail messages are delivered before they are transferred to the Eudora program on your PC. In this field, type your login name for this account, an "@" sign, and the full (domain) name of the computer. For example, if your assigned login name is "carolyn," and the name of the computer where you receive e-mail is "uxh.cso.uiuc.edu," type "carolyn@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu" in this field. Real Name: Type your real name. Your name, as it appears here, is displayed in parentheses after your return address in your outgoing mail. It is also displayed in the sender column of all messages you send. SMTP Server: To send mail, a computer with an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server program is necessary. You need not have a login to this computer, but you must have access to it through your network. If the computer on which you have your POP account is also an SMTP server, leave this field blank. Otherwise, specify the name of the computer you want to use as your SMTP server. Return Address: Normally, Eudora uses your POP account as your return address. If you wish to use a return address other than your POP account, enter it here. If you have the New Mail Notification "Sound" switch on, and when new mail arrives, you will hear a notification sound. In order for this to work, your system must have a properly configured sound board, or you must have installed the Sound Driver for PC-Speaker (anonymous ftp from ftp.eudora.com the file /eudora/eudoralight/windows/extras/utils/SPEAK.EXE). Eudora has a built-in sound, but if you wish to supply your own, it must be in .WAV format. To change the default new mail sound, select Options... from the Special menu, and then select the Getting Attention category. Select the button under the "Play a sound" checkbox, and a dialog will prompt you for the sound file. Note that this driver will only work for the Windows 3.X operating system. It will not work for Windows NT or Windows 95. If the mail you are sending is returning to you saying that the message does not have a Date: header, add the following entry to your EUDORA.INI file: [Settings] TimeZone=xxxnnnyyy where xxx, yyy are timezone abbreviations like PST, PDT, CDT, and nnn is the offset in hours WEST of GMT (i.e., those that are east of GMT should enter a negative number here). xxx is the timezone during Standard Time and yyy is the timezone during Daylight Savings Time. If you do not change your clocks during Daylight Savings Time, leave yyy blank. Here's some samples: TimeZone=PST8PDT TimeZone=EST5EDT TimeZone=MET-1 If you don't specify a TimeZone entry, then a Date: header will not be put in outgoing messages, which is fine for most users because their mail server will insert the correct Date: header. The moral is - if you don't get messages bounced because of a missing Date: header, then leave the TimeZone entry alone. --------------- TCP/IP Services --------------- Eudora makes use of several different TCP/IP services, and has default port numbers for these services. Most sites put these services on the default ports, but some may not. Contact your site network administrator to make sure that the following services listed below are indeed on the default port numbers. If they are not, you will have to make some changes to some configuration file(s) in your TCP/IP package (usually to a SERVICES file). Below are a list of the services which Eudora uses, and what they might look like in a typical services file. The names of these services must be exactly as named here (e.g., the entry for the POP3 service must be "pop3" and not "pop-3"). Make sure that you make any changes necessary for your TCP/IP package to specify the location of the SERVICES file. To send mail: smtp 25/tcp To receive mail: pop3 110/tcp To use Ph (if your site has a Ph server): csnet-ns 105/tcp To use Finger (if your site supports finger): finger 79/tcp To use the Change Password... function in Eudora, your site must have a password changing server installed. See the directory quest/unix/servers/password on ftp.eudora.com for examples of password changing servers): epass 106/tcp There are also entries in the [Settings] section of the EUDORA.INI file for default port numbers of services. These are provided for setups in which the SERVICES file cannot be modified. Do not use these entries unless the services are not on default port numbers and you cannot modify them in your TCP/IP package. Here are sample INI entries: [Settings] SMTPPort=25 POPPort=110 PHPort=105 FingerPort=79 EudoraPassPort=106 ------------------ Freeware Questions ------------------ If you have a technical question about Eudora Light for Windows, check the online help and user manual.
