- Problem
How to set up Eudora to recieve Departmental Server Mail (mail.pa.msu.edu) and send mail through either MSU Mail (mail.msu.edu) or the Departmental Server (mail.pa.msu.edu).
- Solution
The following instructions are to set up Eudora 6.1 to receive IMAP mail from our departmental mail server and send mail from either the University's outgoing mail server or our departmental server. Users who travel a lot or are configuring their client for home use may wish to set their outgoing mail server to MSU Mail, whereas it is convenient for users on campus or at select remote locations (such as Fermi Lab) to use the departmental outgoing servers.
