Introduction to Eudora

With an electronic mail (e-mail) program on your computer and an Internet connection you can send messages and files to other computer users who also have e-mail and a network connection.

Your Macintosh system is configured with the Eudora software which is a POP mail client. A client requests a service from a server. A client and server communicate using a well-defined protocol or set of rules. Eudora uses the POP3 protocol; therefore, it must communicate with a server that also understands POP3.

Note: Large portions of the following section were taken from the Eudora manual, Eudora: Bringing the P.O. to where you live. Version 1.3, by Carolyn Gedney, copyright 1988-1992 by the University of Illinois Board of Trustees.
