Setting up your email account (Palm)

Before using Eudora, your email account needs to be setup. Your ISP can give you your basic account settings. You will need to know the following before starting:

• Real Name - Usually your First and Last names, or a nickname

• Username - Assigned by your ISP. Usually before the @ symbol

• Incoming Mail Server - Assigned by your ISP. Looks like mail.myisp.com and goes after the @ symbol.

• Outgoing Mail Server - Assigned by your ISP. Looks like mail.myisp.com. Used for sending mail.

• Return email address - If your email address is invalid, nobody can reply to you.

Users have two options for creating an account.

• Use the Step by Step Account Wizard

  • The wizard guide you thru collecting your data, and entering it one screen at a time.

• Use the Advanced options

  • Use this option if you know your account settings, or want to quickly get started.
