ico_eul.gif (360 bytes) Run Eudora via the Start menu, or by double-clicking the Eudora icon on the Windows Desktop.
mnu_opt.gif (1614 bytes) Go to the Tools menu and select Options...
o_start.gif (6945 bytes) In the Getting Started category:

Connection Method: This should be Winsock

o_info.gif (6467 bytes) In the Personal Info category:

POP account: Your OlyPen dial-up username followed by @pop3.olypen.com (The pop3 part is important!)

Real name: Your full and proper name.

Return address: Leave this blank unless you wish replies to your messages to be sent to a different e-mail address.

Dialup username: Leave this blank.

o_hosts.gif (6355 bytes) In the Hosts category:

SMTP: The address of OlyPen's outgoing mail server, smtp.olypen.com

Ph: Leave this blank.

Finger: Leave this blank.

o_check.gif (8897 bytes) In the Checking Mail category:

Skip messages over: If you are having problems downloading a large e-mail message (you never should have this problem with Eudora), put a check in this checkbox and the size (in kilobytes) of messages you wish to skip. The skipped messages should remain on the mail server.

Save password: Don't put a check in this if you would rather be asked for your password each time you check for new messages.

o_send.gif (7677 bytes) In the Sending Mail category:

Domain to add to unqualified addresses: Putting olypen.com here allows you to send a message to say username@olypen.com just by typing username into the To: line of a new message.

o_reply.gif (6335 bytes)  
o_attch.gif (7619 bytes) In the Attachments category:

Encoding method: Leave this set to MIME (the Internet Standard) unless there's a specific reason for you to do otherwise.

o_fonts.gif (7523 bytes)  
o_text.gif (6498 bytes)  
o_cols.gif (6187 bytes)  
o_attn.gif (6301 bytes)  
o_warn.gif (7874 bytes)  
o_dial.gif (8064 bytes) In the Dialup category:

These settings only apply if you use Eudora's own dial-up software. Don't try to use this when connecting to OlyPen.

o_adv.gif (8105 bytes) In the Advanced Network category:

Network timeout: Set this to 600 seconds (10 minutes) unless you're expecting some really large (>10 megabytes) messages.

Cache network info: It's generally a bad idea to put a check in this, particularly if your modem drops out a lot.

Unload Winsock DLL after closing socket: This is generally a good idea to put a check in. On Winsock diallers that support it, this will cause the dial-up connection to hang-up a short time after Eudora finishes sending/receiving e-mail.

o_mapi.gif (6602 bytes) In the MAPI (Mail Application Programmer's Interface) category:

Use Eudora MAPI server: Leave this set to Never unless you have a special Eudora Plug-in which requires it.

o_kerb.gif (7398 bytes) In the Kerberos category:

OlyPen's mail servers do not support the use of Kerberos (a special password authentication scheme). Leave the default settings as they are.

o_misc.gif (8065 bytes)
