Eudora 1998

The E-mail program is called Eudora Liteand it has a pretty little picture (icon) in your Internet program group of an envelope. Click on this to send your first E-mail Message, once you have used E-mail you will understand why they call regular mail service Snail Mail. The only catch to E-mail service is that the recipient of the message also needs to have access to an E-mail server.

Now that you are a paid up subscriber to full Internet service you will get an E-mail address that looks like this

your name@server.name.***. My E-mail address, for example, is dave@knet.Kootenay.net. The E-mail addresses are case sensitive so be careful how you write them.

Eudora can be started by clicking on its icon (a small envelope) in the Internet program group. Your Eudora program once clicked on will give you a screen with the top part looking like this:

The above words with one letter underlined are called menus

you can click on the word with your mouse. You can use your keys on keyboard called "Ctrl" and the key with the letter

that is underlined. First, push "Ctrl" than the letter (i.e.

File menu can be opened by pushing down Ctrl than f). These

actions will open a box (called a pull down menu) with more words in it. Each word does one thing.

The File pull down menu gives the following words :

" Close Ctrl + w,":" Save Ctrl + s":"Save As":"Send Queued

Message Ctrl + t":"Check Mail Ctrl +m":"Pr int Setup": " Print Ctrl P":"E xit Ctrl q"

If a word is "greyed out" than it can't be used at that time; just the words that are clear can be used to initiate

action. With that in mind click on a few words and see what happens. Click on page background to return the full page view.

Lets try Eudora now: If you are a subscriber to the Local service provider dial the Internet Number; log in with your user name and password (assigned to you by the server who provides the service) and click on Eudora. It will open

and the top page look like this:

After Eudora has opened only "Check Mail", "print set-up" and E xit are lit. Click on "Check Mail" and a box will come on which says Progress : contacting " name@server.name.*** "; logging on to pop server; than if you have any messages you will be told what messages are being "Downloaded" (i.e. the message is being transferred from the server to your computer) and you can watch them come in.

P rint Set-up asks you to identify your printer on your system and enter its name. If you want to have your messages printed out onto paper than you need to fill this box in.

E xit does just what it says it lets you shut down and leave the Eudora program.

When you have your Mailbo x content on the screen the " Close"; "Save As", and the "Pr int" light up so you can use them.

" Close" shuts the Mail box; "Save As" lets you save the highlighted (the message in the mailbox that has the cursor on it) message under a title of your choosing. "Print" lets you print the selected message on paper

The Mailbo x has a small pull down menu with the following words " In Ctrl + I", " Out", "Trash" and " New". " In" are the letters you have received through E-mail and " Out" are the letters you have sent out through e-mail. " Trash" lets you delete letters you have read or don't want. " New" lets you make up a folder name to store your letters in.
