==================
Eudora for Windows
==================

Version 1.4.4

This is the freeware version of Eudora for Windows. There is also a commercial version of Eudora called Eudora by QUALCOMM (Version 2.0 and above).  If you would like information about the commercial version, a brief description is provided in the Help menu of this freeware. Select About Commercial Eudora to display this dialog. You can also subscribe to the QUALCOMM Enterprise Software Technologies (QUEST) mailing list by selecting QUEST Mailing List from the Help menu. This list will provide subscribers with occasional information about Eudora, Eudora by QUALCOMM, and other QUEST products.

The latest freeware version of Eudora for Windows can be found on ftp.qualcomm.com, in the directory quest/eudora/windows/1.4. The Windows freeware user manual can also be found on ftp.qualcomm.com, in the directory quest/eudora/windows/documentation. The user manual is formatted in Word for Windows version 2.0 format.

Both the freeware and its documentation can also be retrieved via e-mail using QUALCOMM's list server. To obtain the freeware, send a message to majordomo@qualcomm.com with the body text as follows:

get freeware Win/Eudora.hqx

Alternatively, if you want the file delivered in uuencode format rather than BinHex, use the following message:

get freeware Win/Eudora.uu

To obtain the user manual, send a message to majordomo@qualcomm.com with the body text as follows:

get freeware Win/doc.hqx

Alternatively, if you want the file delivered in uuencode format rather than BinHex, use the following message:

get freeware Win/doc.uu

The files will be returned to you as message attachments. Note that they are large files and may take some time to download to your desktop.


--------------------
Minimum Requirements
--------------------

Eudora for Windows requires the following:

    - IBM PC compatible machine
    - MS Windows Version 3.1
    - WinSock v1.1 compliant TCP/IP stack
    - Microsoft (or compatible) mouse (highly recommended)
    - At least 750KB of free disk space (more depending on mailbox sizes)



--------------
How to Install
--------------

Install Eudora as follows:

1.	Create a new directory on your PC for the Eudora files 
    (C:\EUDORA is a good choice).

2.	Copy the Eudora freeware executable file (WEUDORA.EXE) into the 
     directory you created in step 1.

3.	Add the following environment variable to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

	   SET TMP=C:\TMP                 (or some temp directory)

	   Make sure that this directory exists.

4.	Run Windows and add Eudora as a Program Item to a new or existing Program Group.

If you wish your mail files to reside somewhere other than where the executable resides, then you can set the mail directory by specifying the directory as the first parameter on the command line of the Program Item that you create for Eudora.

This is also useful if you want to have multiple users on one PC, each with their own mail directory.  Eudora will use the directory on the command line first.  If that isnŐt present, the directory where the executable resides will be used.

Note:	Always keep the Help file in the same directory as the executable.  

-------------------
Configuration Notes
-------------------

The first time you run Eudora you will have to edit some of the configuration information in order to be able to send and receive mail.  

Select Configuration... from the Special Menu.

The fields you need to review are:

POP Account:     To use Eudora, you must have an account on a computer that runs a POP3 server.  This is the account to which your e-mail messages are delivered before they are transferred to the Eudora program on your PC.  In this field, type your login name for this account and the full (domain) name of the computer, separating them with an "@" sign.  For example, if your assigned login name is "carolyn," and the name of the computer where you receive e-mail is "uxh.cso.uiuc.edu," type "carolyn@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu" in this field.

Real Name:	     Type your real name.  Your name, as it appears here, is displayed in parentheses after your return address in your outgoing mail.  It is also displayed in the sender column of all messages you send.

SMTP Server:    To send mail, a computer with an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server program is necessary.  You need not have a login to this computer, but you must have access to it through your network.  If the computer on which you have your POP account is also an SMTP server, leave this field blank.  Otherwise, specify the name of the computer you want to use as your SMTP server.

Return Address:  Normally, Eudora uses your POP account as your return address.  If you wish to use a return address other than your POP account, enter it here.


If you have the New Mail Notification "Sound" switch on, then when new mail arrives, you will hear a notification sound.  In order for this to work, your system must have a properly configured sound board, or you must have installed the Sound Driver for PC-Speaker (anonymous ftp from ftp.qualcomm.com the file /quest/windows/utils/SPEAK.EXE).  Eudora has a built-in sound, but if you wish to supply your own, it must be in .WAV format.  To change the default new mail sound, edit the EUDORA.INI file and add an entry in the [Miscellaneous] section called NewMailSound.  Set the entry to the filename of the wave file.  If the entry is just a filename, with no path, then Eudora will look for it in the mail directory.  Here's an example of what it may look like in the INI file:

[Miscellaneous]
NewMailSound=NEWMAIL.WAV


If the mail you are sending is bouncing back to you saying that the message does not have a Date: header, add the following entry to your EUDORA.INI file:

[Miscellaneous]
TimeZone=xxxnnnyyy

where xxx, yyy are timezone abbreviations like PST, PDT, CDT, and nnn is the offset in hours WEST of GMT (i.e., those that are east of GMT should enter a negative number here).  xxx is the timezone during Standard Time and yyy is the timezone during Daylight Savings Time.  If you do not change your clocks during Daylight Savings Time, leave yyy blank.
Here's some samples:
     TimeZone=PST8PDT
     TimeZone=EST5EDT
     TimeZone=MET-1

If you don't specify a TimeZone entry, then a Date: header will not be put in outgoing messages, which is fine for most users because their mail server will insert the correct Date: header.  The moral is - if you don't get messages bounced because of a missing Date: header, then leave the TimeZone entry alone.


TCP/IP Services
---------------

Eudora makes use of several different TCP/IP services, and has default port numbers for these services.  Most sites put these services on the default ports, but some may not.  Contact your site network administrator to make sure that the following services listed below are indeed on the default port numbers.  If they aren't, you'll have to make some changes to some configuration file(s) in your TCP/IP package (usually to a SERVICES file).

Below are a list of the services which Eudora uses, and what they might look like in a typical services file.  The names of these services must be exactly as named here (e.g., the entry for the POP3 service must be "pop3" and not "pop-3").  Make sure that you make any changes necessary for your TCP/IP package to specify the location of the SERVICES file.

To send mail:
	smtp      25/tcp

To receive mail:
	pop3      110/tcp

To use Ph (if your site has a Ph server):
	csnet-ns  105/tcp

To use Finger (if your site supports finger):
	finger    79/tcp

To use the Change Password... function in Eudora, your site must have a password changing server installed.  See the directory quest/unix/servers/password on ftp.qualcomm.com for examples of password changing servers):
	epass   106/tcp

There are also entries in the [Configurations] section of the EUDORA.INI file for default port numbers of services.  These are provided for setups in which the SERVICES file cannot be modified.  Do not use these entries unless the services are not on default port numbers and you cannot modify them in your TCP/IP package (or you aren't using one, which is the case for the Dialup connection method).  Here are sample INI entries:

[Configurations]
SMTPPort=25
POPPort=110
PHPort=105
FingerPort=79
EudoraPassPort=106



Please Report Bugs
------------------ 

Send any and all bugs to eudora-hotline@qualcomm.com, and we'll try to respond to you as quickly as possible. 

If the bug involves a GPF, then be sure to include a Dr. Watson log file (Win32 users, be sure to send a Win16 Dr. Watson log, not a Win32 one).  There's an application called Dr. Watson (it's in your Windows directory, DRWATSON.EXE) that will write some important debugging information to a log file (DRWATSON.LOG, also in the Windows directory), and will also prompt you to jot down a few words about what you were doing when the crash occurred.  This information is extremely helpful for tracking down problems.  In his spare time, Dr. Watson enjoys sitting as an icon at the bottom of the screen.

The entries are appended to the end of the log file, so it can grow very large.  Periodically delete the file to keep its size to a minimum.  When you include a log file as part of a bug report, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, edit the log file so that only the pertinent part(s) are included.  It's really not fun to wade through months of someone's log file.

You can make a Program Item for Dr. Watson in your StartUp Program Group so that you don't have to manually start it every time you start Windows.

Developers' Note
----------------

This freeware version of Eudora is now postcardware!
If you try out Eudora, and decide that you'd like to use it on a regular basis, then just send a postcard to the following address:

6455 Lusk Blvd.
San Diego, CA  92121-2779
USA

Postcards that have something to do with where you live are an especially good choice, as I like to see all the interesting places that Eudora is being used.  Humorous or unusual postcards are a favorite of mine, and you never know when I may decide that someone's postcard was interesting enough to make them a tester for the commercial version of Eudora.
