1. CHECK Mail: Hit [crtl-M]. Type your password and wait for the connection and data transfer to be completed. If you have new mail Eudora will retrieve it into your IN mailbox (see # 9) and announce it. Hit enter to continue. You will see a one line summary of the header information. If there is no new mail the program will simply shut-down the connection.

REMINDER: to perform this task you must have an active link to the server. : to perform this task you must have an active link to the server.

2. OPEN Mail: Double-click on the one line header summary of the message you want to read. The message window opens and you can move up and down either by using the scroll bars or the (Pg Up) (Pg Dn) keys. To close the message window double-click on its control menu box (top left corner of the window).

3. REPLY: Hit [crtl-R]. This will automatically enter the necessary address (header) information, and will treat the original message as inserted quotation in your reply. (NOTE: The > symbol in front of a line indicates a quotation). Of course you can delete any parts of the original message, and insert the text of your reply anywhere in the document. When you are ready go to (7D) or (7E).

4. PRINT: Hit [crtl-P] {or click on File, click on Print}. This will print any highlighted message(s) or the one you are reading. Make sure that all the printer information are correct in the dialogue box and hit enter or click on OK.

5. SAVE: click on File, click on Save, or Save as. If you use Save, Eudora will create a file name out of the Subject and place it in Eudora's working directory. If you use Save as, then you can save the message anywhere, and with any name you want (I suggest the use of (.txt) as the file extension). You may also want to organize your mail by creating different mailboxes ( see # 9).

6. DELETE: Hit [crtl-D] {or click on Message, click on Delete}. Any highlighted message(s) will be discarded. Well ... actually they are moved to your Trash mailbox (see #9). Eudora will automatically empty the trash if the Empty trash on Quit switch is on. (Remember ... when you were talking to Eudora before?) Otherwise you have to take the trash out yourself: click on Special, click on Empty Trash.

7. CREATE, QUEUE and SEND a new message: click on Message.

A) If the addressee is not on your recipient list (see #8 III) or your address book (nicknames see #8) click on New Message. Complete the header, type your message, and go to either (7D) or (7E).) If the addressee is not on your recipient list (see #8 III) or your address book (nicknames see #8) click on New Message. Complete the header, type your message, and go to either (7D) or (7E).

B) If the addressee is on your recipient list, then instead of New Message, go down a few lines in the Message menu, click on New Message To, and choose the recipient. C) When you have a nickname for the addressee but he/she is not on the recipient list then hit [crtl-L] {or click on Window, click on Nicknames}, choose (click on) the addressee, and click on To:. The message window opens so you can type your message. When you finish go to (7D) or (7E). I'm afraid I made it sound harder than it is. So, as they say ... JUST DO IT.

D) If the Immediate Send switch is on, and you have an active link to the server, then click on Send to send your message. ) If the Immediate Send switch is on, and you have an active link to the server, then click on Send to send your message.

E) If the Immediate Send switch is off, then click on Queue. Connect to the server if you are not already connected, and hit [crtl-T] {or click on File, click on Send Queued Messages}. This approach is more efficient because it minimizes the use of the phone connection. You queue all your messages of-line and then send them. ) If the Immediate Send switch is off, then click on Queue. Connect to the server if you are not already connected, and hit [crtl-T] {or click on File, click on Send Queued Messages}. This approach is more efficient because it minimizes the use of the phone connection. You queue all your messages of-line and then send them.

8. NICKNAMES: Here is where the Eudora user can create an address book. Any nickname contains information for a single or multiple recipients (i.e. distribution lists).

I. SINGLE RECIPIENTS:

a) If you have a message from the person whose e-mail information you want to add to your address book then with the message opened or highlighted hit crtl-K or click on Special, click on Make Nickname. A dialogue box will appear. Type the name you want to use (whatever you type here will appear in the To: field of the header), and click on the small box below only if you want to add the addressee to your recipient list. (see 8 III). Finally click on OK.

WARNING: Always check the accuracy of the addresses created this way. Hit [crtl-L], click on the nickname you have just created and make any corrections if necessary.: Always check the accuracy of the addresses created this way. Hit [crtl-L], click on the nickname you have just created and make any corrections if necessary.

b) If you don't have a message but you know the address (i.e. whoever@subdomain.domain), hit crtl-L or click on Tools, click on Nicknames. A window will open that allows you to add, remove or edit nicknames and the corresponding information. In this case to add an address click on New. Again the dialogue box will appear as in (Ia); supply the information, and type the e-mail address in the Address(es) box. Close the nickname window by double-clicking on its control menu, a pop-up box will appear, click on Save.

II. MULTIPLE RECIPIENTS (Distribution Lists): Follow (Ib) but in the Address(es) box type the e-mail addresses of all the recipients either in separate lines or one after another separated by a comma. To send a message to all the members of a list click on Message, click on New Message To, and on the list's nickname. This again will open the message window where you can type your message. The problem with this approach is that a long list of e-mail addresses will appear in the header of the message when it arrives at its destination. To avoid that I suggest you put your own login id in the To: field of the header and the list's nickname in the Bcc: field.

III. RECIPIENT LIST: You may want to store frequently used addresses in the program's recipient list. To include an address on this list you need to:

a) check the Put it on the recipient list box, when you make the nickname or b) open the nicknames hit [crtl-L] {or click on Tools, click on Nicknames}. All the nicknames with a bullet mark in front of them are already on the list. To add another one click on it so it is highlighted, and then right-click on the nickname. Select Add to Recipient List. To remove anyone from the list (get rid of the bullet mark), do the same right-click, then select Remove from Recipient List.

9. MAILBOXES: By default you have three mailboxes: IN, OUT, and TRASH. To OPEN any one of them click on Mailbox, and choose (click on) the one you wish to open. To create new ones click on Mailbox, and on New. Once again a dialogue box appears where you type the mailbox's name. If you check the make it a folder box you can create hierarchical mailboxes under that entry. With your mailboxes in place you can organize your messages. Highlight those you want to transfer, click on Transfer, and click on the appropriate mailbox.

10. ATTACHMENTS: You can ask Eudora to carry other documents along with your message. With your message open, Hit [crtl-H] {or click on Message, click on Attach File}, and provide the necessary information for the document (for example C:\WP51\DOC\filename.extension). This is a fast and convenient way to exchange documents with friends and colleagues, BUT ...

WARNING: The recipient will not be able to read the attached document unless a) he/she uses a program capable of reading your document and b) is using Eudora or is able to "decode" the attachment. : The recipient will not be able to read the attached document unless a) he/she uses a program capable of reading your document and b) is using Eudora or is able to "decode" the attachment.

... and this folks is finally the end of the "Eudora Top Ten List" from Eudora City, Qualcomm, Com.

... send Eudora to sleep, double-click on her control menu box (top left corner of the EUDORA window) or hit [Ctrl-Q].
