<H3>Changing Your Password</H3>
|
|
<P>Your incoming mail server may require that you enter a password in order to
|
|
check your mail. If the computer that runs this server has the right software,
|
|
you can change your account password right from within Eudora. If you have multiple
|
|
password-controlled accounts and the above condition applies for each, you can
|
|
change the password for each account in Eudora.</P>

<H4>Tips:</H4>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>The above procedure works only if the incoming mail server is running a
|
|
compatible password-change server. For information about these servers, see "Sources" the <a href="http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/manuals.html">online Eudora User Manual</a>.<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>For your own protection, many password servers are strict about passwords.
|
|
When you choose a new password, make sure it's at least six characters
|
|
long and is not a dictionary word, name, date, familiar acronym, or anything
|
|
else that could be guessed. Some servers require that you have at least one
|
|
number or symbol in your password, and you may want to do that even if it
|
|
is not required.<BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
</LI>
|
|
<LI>Depending on the password server you are using, the password can be up to
|
|
30 characters, but it is normally only 7 or 8.</LI>
