Eudora Setup

Warning: PC50 will be retired soon. It is an ancient computer running Windows NT. If it dies, it will NOT be restored. Files used on Windows computers should be stored in your personal directory on \\samba\user\.

If you are still using PC50, contact the LEPP computer group immediately at service-lepp@cornell.edu so your files can be migrated to \\samba\user\

The use of Eudora is strongly discouraged. If you are accessing Cornell's central mail system, you should be using Outlook, Outlook Web Access or Apple Mail. See http://www.cit.cornell.edu/services/guides/email/index.cfm Mozilla Thunderbird should be used for other mail services. See ThunderbirdConfiguration for details.

1. Create a folder titled eudora_mail in your directory on PC50.
   • Open a new window and enter your directory on PC50 (your Z:\ drive)
     Z:\dab66 or \\PC50\Users\dab66

3. Create a shortcut to eudora.exe on your desktop, and modify the shortcut to point to your eudora_mail folder on PC50.
