If you are installing from CD-ROM, insert the CD-RM into the drive and double-click on its icon. Then, double-click on Setup.exe.
If you are installing from a software archive, double-click on it to run the Setup program.
Note: If you are installing Eudora over your current version of Eudora Pro or Eudora Light, select your current Eudora directory. All your messages, mailboxes, folders, and options will be maintained. If you are installing Eudora for the first time, you can select any directory you want.
Based on the operating system and connectivity software that you are running, the Setup program recommends an appropriate version.
The 32-bit software can be used with the 32-bit operating systems Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.5 or later, but it also requires 32-bit connectivity software. If you are using a 32-bit operating system but the Setup program recommends the 16-bit version, it is probably because your connectivity software is 16-bit.
To send and receive messages, you must have an account on a computer running a POP (Post Office Protocol) server, and access to a computer running an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server. Your incoming e-mail messages are delivered to your POP account, where Eudora picks them up and transfers them to your PC. Your outgoing messages are sent to the SMTP server, which delivers them to your recipients.
You have to provide basic information about your account, servers, and network connection before you can send and receive messages. To do this, use the Getting Started Options (if this is not open, select Options... from the Tools menu and click on the Getting Started category).
In the POP account field, type your POP account name, an "@" sign, and the full name of the computer. For example, if your assigned POP account name is "justine," and the name of the computer where you receive e-mail is "pop3.qualcomm.com" type "justine@pop3.qualcomm.com" in this field.
Note: Be sure to use your POP account -- This may or may not be your e-mail address. If your e-mail address is different than your pop account, put your e-mail address in the Return Address field of the Personal Info Options.
In the Real name field, type your real name. It is included in the From field of your outgoing messages.
Specify a connection method. If you are using Eudora via TCP/IP software (e.g., a direct network connection, SLIP, or PPP), select Winsock. If you are using Eudora via a Unix shell account, select Dialup. Most users will select Winsock.
If your POP and SMTP servers are on the same computer, you do not need to specify an SMTP server. If they are not on the same computer, click on the Hosts category and enter in the SMTP field the full name of the computer running the SMTP server.
You are now ready to go. For a quick introduction to Eudora's basic functions, see the "Tutorial" chapter; for detailed explanations of all the available functions, see the appropriate chapters.
The Trash mailbox is emptied if the Empty Trash when exiting option is on in the Miscellaneous Options.

If you are eligible for technical support, you are prompted to register after you send the first message with your new version of Eudora Pro. Complete the registration form and click Register. The registration is put in the queue in your Out mailbox and is sent the next time you send queued messages.
If you don't want to register at that time, you can choose Not Now to be prompted 7 days later, or Never Register to never be prompted again. At any time, you can choose Register Eudora... from the Help menu to display the registration form.
You must register your copy of Eudora Pro to receive technical support. See the section "Registering Your Copy of Eudora" for details.
