Mac Email Naming Conventions

This page contains directions for setting the parameters for Mac versions of Eudora. The parameter settings differ among versions 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Eudora. Choose the version of Eudora you have by clicking on the links below and follow the directions. If you do not know the version of Eudora on your computer, start Eudora and click on the Help menu followed by "About Eudora". This will show you the version of Eudora.

  • It is important to note that these settings DO NOT change your e-mail address - username@wesleyan.edu. They simply change the names of the central computer to which you connect to download your e-mail and the computer to which you direct outgoing mail.
  • It is also important to note that if you use Eudora on multiple machines, these changes have to be made on ALL machines.
  • If you leave mail on the server, after you make the changes described below all the mail that is left on the server will be downloaded again to your Mac the next time you check your mail . If you do not want this to happen, please contact your desktop support staff for help.
