IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Eudora program is no longer supported - whilst it *may* still work with our service using the setup guide below we unfortunately cannot provide support configuring or troubleshooting it. We recommend that you upgrade your email application to one that is currently updated and supported by the publisher.

Important Points

  • First you need to make sure the email address(es) you will be sending from have been authorised for your account in our Control Panel .
  • These instructions assume your email account has already been setup and is collecting email correctly.
  • Take a note of any settings you change.
  • Only change the items specified - you should not need to change either your email address, POP3 server, POP3 username / password.
