To configure your Eudora or any other e-mail client, you need to
know your POP3 and SMTP servers. To find them out:
- Log into H-Sphere control panel;
- Select Mail Info in the Mail Info
menu.
Your provider's mail server may use different SMTP relays for
sending mail - POP before SMTP or SMTP AUTH. In
POP before SMTP, the relay system collects your IP address when
you authenticate yourself with the POP server, and then permits
SMTP relaying from that IP address for a short period of time.
In other words, if your server uses POP before SMTP, you need to
check your mail first, only then you can send your messages. If
your mail servers uses SMTP AUTH, you must configure your
Eudora to send a login and password not only when you receive
mail, but also when you send it. Ask your provider which relay
the server uses.
