There are many email programs available. For Windows based systems we recommend Eudora. You can obtain Eudora here:

http://www.eudora.com/

Eudora connects to the mail server over the Winsock. Mail may be composed and read offline, but make sure that Winsock is running before attempting to send or receive mail. These days what this essentially means is that your connection is currently running via your Internet Service Provider such as AOL or AT&T. You may use anyname

After Eudora has been installed, it must be configured to point to our servers. To do this, start Eudora and select "Special" from the menu bar. Then select "Settings". Most of the options are self explanatory.

• Leave the entries for SMTP, PH, and Finger blank.
• Fill in userid for your POP account (with userid replaced with your userid and company.com replaced with your domain name).
• Under advanced network features, select 90 seconds for your network timeout.
• The option save password should be checked.
• The authentication style should be password option.
• Under connection method, do not check the offline option.

If you have multiple email addresses, you can install a separate copy of Eudora for each email address.

Mail Redirection

Text file in your home directory named .redirect says:

This would redirect mail for fred to 73452.452, etc.

Mail to a user that was not in this list would be sent to the default user, arthur
