Creating Additional Email Accounts - Eudora 4.3

Eudora 4.3 supports an option called "Personalities," which allows you to check multiple accounts from one copy of Eudora. When using Eudora's Personalities option, all mail will download into the same mailbox. Once the mail is downloaded, it can be accessed by anyone who has access to your computer. To create additional personalities, complete the following steps:

1. From the Tools menu, select Personalities.
2. Right-click on the highlighted personality in the left-hand screen and select New.
3. The New Account Wizard will appear.
4. Check the circle next to Create a brand new email account.
5. Click on the Next button.
6. In the Personality Name text box, type the name of your new personality.
7. Click on the Next button.
8. In the Your Name text box, type your name.
9. Click on the Next button.
10. In the Email Address text box, type your email address.
11. Click on the Next button.
12. In the Login Name text box, type your email address (such as memberid@mybluelight.com)
13. Click on the Next button.
14. In the Incoming Server text box, type pop.mybluelight.com
15. Select the server type by checking the circle next to POP.
16. Click on the Next button.
17. In the Outgoing Server text box, type authsmtp.mybluelight.com
18. Click on the Finish button.

Multiple users who use one computer may prefer to keep their email accounts separate. In order to do so, you will need to create a shortcut by completing the steps below:

1. On your desktop, double-click on My Computer.
2. Double-click on the hard drive in which your Eudora software resides (typically C:).
3. From the View menu, select Folder Options.
4. Select the View tab.
5. Under Advanced Settings, you will find the folder "Hidden Files".
6. Check the circle next to Show All Files.
7. Click on the Apply button then click OK.
8. From the File menu, select New and click on Folder.
9. Name the folder Eudora2.
   Note: If it automatically names itself 'New Folder' and does not give you the option to rename it, you can click on the folder once with the right mouse button and click on Rename with the left mouse button.
10. Open the Eudora folder.
    (By default, it can be found in c:\program files\qualcomm\eudora)
11. Click on a file inside the Eudora directory to highlight it and press Ctrl+A. This will highlight all of the files.
12. Press Ctrl+C. This will copy all of the highlighted files.
13. Go back to the Eudora2 directory (This should be c:\eudora2). Double-click the Eudora2 folder to open it.
14. Once the Eudora2 folder is open, there should not be any files showing. Press Ctrl+V. This will paste the files copied in step 12.

Note: You can only have one copy of Eudora open at a time. Also, be aware that if you were using Eudora before you copied the files over, Eudora2 will look the same as it did before. It will even have your original account information.

To create an additional email account, follow the instructions below:

1. Double-click on the eudora.exe icon, which is shown as an envelope icon, found in the eudora2 folder.
