2)Select 'Settings...' from the drop-down list |
|
3)Click 'Sending Mail' |
4)Tick the 'Allow authorization' checkbox |
|
5)Click 'SSL' (you may have to scroll down to find it) |
6)Click the SSL for SMTP double-arrows, and |
7)Put a dot beside the 'Required (TLS)' option |
8)Click [OK] |
The next step is to get Eudora to use/install the Certificate |
Setting up Eudora to use the certificate
For Eudora to use the certificate you will need to send a simple test e-mail to yourself. This process is necessary and will cause the test mail to fail. This is normal and always occurs the first time you use Secure SMTP.
1)Send a test mail to yourself. Address the e-mail to yourself, put 'Test' in the subject, and click the [Send] button |
2)After the message has been sent, Eudora will ask you if you would like to add the certificate to your system keychain. You should click 'Open' |
|
3)Tick the 'Add to keychain' option |
4)Click the double-arrows, and |
5)select 'Always trust' from the drop-down list |
6)Click the [OK] button |
|
7)You will be shown a copy of the certificate (as above). Click the 'Done' button to continue. |
8)Open your Outbox. You should see the test message with a 'Q' in the 'Status' area. Double-click the subject of the message to reopen it, then click the [Send] button again. The message should now send without error. |
Eudora is now setup to send e-mail through SSL |
