How to Set up Authenticated SMTP in Eudora

E-mail systems that send mail over the Internet use SMTP to send messages from one server to another. The messages can then be retrieved with an e-mail client using either POP or IMAP.

On campus, when you are connected to the NYU server from a Stern computer or your own notebook PC via wireless (or using NYU dial-up), the servers are as follows:

Using POP3		Using IMAP
Incoming Mail Server:	connect-pop3.stern.nyu.edu	Incoming Mail Server:	connect-imap.stern.nyu.edu
SMTP Server:	smtp.stern.nyu.edu	SMTP Server:	smtp.stern.nyu.edu

Configuring Eudora to use Authenticated SMTP will allow you to send emails from your Stern account at home. You will have to enter your password once per session before sending messages. Follow the instructions below to configue authenticated SMTP.

Configuration Steps

1.) Under Tools menu, select Personalities.

2.) The Personalities menu will dock on the left of the screen. Right click on an existing account, choose New to create a new account (and skip step iv.) or choose Properties to modify an existing account (then skip the next step).

3.) When you choose New, the New Account Wizard will pop up. Follow the on-screen instructions to input your personality name, email address, etc. When prompted for the server name, enter the incoming server as connect-imap.stern.nyu.edu and the outgoing mail server as smtp.stern.nyu.edu. Check the box labeled "Authentication Allowed."

4.) In the Properties window, enter the incoming server as connect-imap.stern.nyu.edu and outgoing mail server as smtp.stern.nyu.edu. Check the “Authentication Allowed” box.
