Creating a New Personality

(Sponsored and Paid modes only)

For each email account you have, you can set up a separate "personality" in Eudora. For example, if you have one account at work, a different account at home, and yet another account at school, you can set up Eudora so that you can send and receive email from all three of these accounts, either simultaneously or at different times, without having to quit and restart Eudora to switch accounts, and without having to move to a different computer.

To create a new personality, do the following:

1. Select Window>Personalities. The Personalities window is displayed.



2. Click the New button. An untitled personality item appears, consisting of a personality icon and a name box.



3. If the name box is not already highlighted for editing, click it once. After a short pause, the box is highlighted. Type in a name for the personality and press Return.



4. With the personality item still highlighted (click once on the icon if it is not), click the Edit button. The Settings dialog is displayed, showing the Personalities panel.



5. Enter the appropriate information in the dialog. Then, either click OK, or click the Personality Extras category in the Settings dialog, enter additional information for that personality, and click OK.

Modifying an Existing Personality

To modify an existing personality, do the following:

1. Select Window>Personalities. The Personalities window is displayed.



2. Click once on the icon of the personality you wish to modify, to highlight it.



3. Click the Edit button. The Settings dialog is displayed, showing the Personalities panel for that personality.



4. Make any changes you want, then either click OK, or click the Personality Extras category in the Settings dialog, make additional changes for that personality, and click OK.

Deleting an Existing Personality

To delete an existing personality, do the following:

1. Select Window>Personalities. The Personalities window is displayed.



2. Click once on the icon of the personality you wish to delete, to highlight it.



3. Click the Remove button. A dialog is displayed asking you if you really want to delete that personality.



4. Click OK to delete the personality, or Cancel if you change your mind. If you click OK, the personality is deleted.

Note: Deletion of a personality cannot be undone! Also, when you delete a personality, all messages that were associated with that personality now become re-associated with your dominant personality.

Creating a New Message from a Personality

Your Dominant personality is the default personality Eudora uses for most functions (such as creating a new outgoing message) when you don't specify otherwise.

To create a new outgoing message from one of your non-dominant personalities (alternate accounts), use one of the following methods:

• Open a new message window (Message>New Message) and select your desired personality from the Personality popup in the From field of the message header.

• Open a new message window and select your desired personality from the Message>Change>Personality submenu.

• Select Window>Personalities to open the Personalities window. In that window, double-click on the icon of your desired personality. A new outgoing message opens, addressed from the selected personality.

Checking Mail for Your Personalities

To manually check mail for one or more of your multiple personalities, do the following:

1. Select Window>Personalities. The Personalities window is displayed.



2. Select the personalities for which you want to check mail: Click once on an icon to select one personality. To select a range, use the Shift key, or drag-select. Use the Command key to make disjoint selections.



3. Click the Check Mail button. Enter your password(s) if necessary.

Eudora checks mail for each of your selected personalities, in sequence.
