<H3>Checking for and Receiving Mail</H3>
|
|
<P>You can check for new mail manually, or set up Eudora to automatically check
|
|
as often as you want. </P>
|
|
|
|
<H4>Checking Mail Manually</H4>
|
|
<P>To check mail manually, do one of the following:</P>
|
|
<UL><LI>Select <B>File>Check Mail</B></LI></UL>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<UL><LI>Click the <B>Check Mail</B> button on the main toolbar</LI></UL><BR>
|
|
<UL><LI>Press <B>Command+M</B></LI></UL>
|
|
<P>If you have new messages, Eudora transfers them one by one. Depending on the
|
|
options you have set, a "new mail" alert is displayed, and the <B>In</B>
|
|
mailbox opens with your new messages at the bottom.</P>
|
|
<P>If you have multiple personalities (email accounts) set up and you want their
|
|
mail checked each time you do a manual check, then for each account or "personality,"
|
|
turn on the <B>Check mail on manual checks</B> option in the Personalities Settings
|
|
(<B>Special>Settings...>Personalities</B>).</P>
|
|
<P>To manually check mail for one or more of your multiple personalities at any
|
|
time (Sponsored and Paid modes only), and not just when you check mail for your
|
|
dominant account as above, do the following:</P>
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>Select <B>Window>Personalities</B>. The Personalities window is displayed.</LI><BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
<LI>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 <B>Shift</B>
|
|
key, or drag-select. Use the <B>Command</B> key to make disjoint selections.</LI><BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
<LI>Click the <B>Check Mail</B> button at the bottom of the Personalities window.
|
|
Enter your password(s) if necessary, as described further below. Eudora checks
|
|
mail for each of your selected personalities, in sequence.</LI>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
|
|
<H4>Checking Mail Automatically</H4>
|
|
<P>To set up automatic mail checks:</P>
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>Select <B>Special>Settings...</B> and click on the <B>Checking Mail</B>
|
|
icon in the scroll list at the left of the Settings dialog.</LI><BR><BR>
|
|
|
|
<LI>In the large box in the field <B>Check for mail every ? minutes</B>, type
|
|
in the number of minutes you want Eudora to wait between mail checks. For
|
|
example, if you enter 15, then Eudora checks for mail every 15 minutes.</LI><BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
<LI>Click the small checkbox next to the field to turn the setting on.</LI><BR>
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
<LI>Click the <B>OK</B> button in the Settings dialog to save your changes and
|
|
close the dialog.</LI>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
<P>Eudora checks for mail at the intervals you have requested.</P>
|
|
<P>If you have multiple personalities set up (Sponsored and Paid modes only) and
|
|
you want their mail checked automatically at certain intervals, open the Personalities
|
|
Settings (<B>Special>Settings...> Personalities</B>) and for each account
|
|
or "personality," click the <B>Check for mail every ? minutes</B>
|
|
option and enter your desired interval. You can have different mail checking
|
|
intervals for different accounts, thus staggering your mail checks.</P>
|
|
<P><B>Tip:</B> To control when you receive mail, turn off automatic checking and
|
|
use manual checking only. If you want Eudora to check for your mail at regular
|
|
intervals, turn on automatic checking and enter a comfortable interval. We recommend
|
|
15 minutes as a good minimum interval. Checking mail more frequently can put
|
|
an unnecessary strain on your incoming mail server.</P>
|
|
|
|
<H4>Entering Your Password</H4>
|
|
<P>The first time you open Eudora and check for new mail, you must enter your
|
|
password (for each account for which you are checking mail).</P>
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>When the Password dialog opens, type your password in the text box. The
|
|
characters of your password are displayed as bullets (•). </LI><BR><BR>
|
|
|
|
<LI>If you make a mistake, backspace and type the correct password.</LI><BR><BR>
|
|
|
|
<LI>Press <B>Return</B> or click the <B>OK</B> button. Eudora then checks your
|
|
mail.</LI>
|
|
</OL>
|
|
<P><B>Tip:</B> Capitalization matters in passwords. Type characters in their correct
|
|
case (upper or lower, with or without the <B>Shift</B> key), and also be sure
|
|
your <B>Caps Lock</B> key isn't down.</P>
