Eudora Light Setup © Charles V. Balch, Spring 97.0

Create a directory named "EUDORA" on your floppy disk.

Examine the personal information box below. You will be filling the information in.

Launch Eudora using the Eudora with Floppy Icon.

Your POP account ID should be the first 3 letters of your LAST name plus the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number plus "@" plus your SMTP server name. I.E. bal5678@stxmail.uvi.edu. Confirm your ID by executing the PH command found under the Tools menu, type PH.UVI.EDU in the server box and your last name in the command box, then confirm your POP Account ID using the Finger button. If you can't see your name, you need to scroll down through the list. If you still don't see your name, you may not be in the system.

Write your POP Account down below. Note that your account is all lower case letters.

Now use the PH button to find your Email return address. It will look something like Charles.Balch@stxmail.uvi.edu (no period at the end). Write your Email Return address down.

Your INITIAL password which must be changed is the first 3 letters of your LAST name and the Fourth, Fifth & sixth digits of your Social Security Number. I.E. bal456. Write it down below.

Choose a permanent password. A valid "permanent password": is at least 5 characters long (may be longer); has at least 1 non-alphabetic character in the first 5 characters; has no "white space;"

Note: case is significant (upper and lower case are distinct).

Write your permanent password down below (don't let anyone else see this sheet).

In Eudora, adjust/fill-in information under the first four Options selections under the Tools Menu to reflect the following and information below:

Exit the Options area by clicking the OK button.

Now select Change Password from the Special menu.

When prompted for your Current Password, enter your Initial password.

When prompted for your new password, enter your permanent password. You will be asked to type it twice. Be very careful -- they must match!
