There are two things you'll need to know in order to set up Eudora.

1. POP account:
   Your POP account is the address that tells Eudora where to go to download your new mail. POP accounts look a lot like e-mail addresses, but they often have an extra word after the @, or are otherwise slightly different. Your POP account is username@mail.forbin.net where you would replace username with your userid.
   
   For example, if your incoming (POP3) mail server were mail.forbin.net, and your e-mail address were yoda@forbin.net, your POP account would be: yoda@mail.forbin.net
   
   You put your POP account in the Getting Started section of the Tools: Options menu or Special: Settings in Eudora.
      
2. E-mail address:
   
   Your e-mail address is what other people use to write to you. Some examples:
   
   yoda@forbin.net
   nobodyhome@worldnet.att.net
   georgeyporgey@forbin.net
   
   You put your e-mail address in the "Return Address" field of Eudora (that's in the Tools: Options or Special: Settings menu, under Personal Information).
   
   Connection Method:
   
   Many people are unsure which option they should select in the Connection Method area of the Getting Started screen. (That's in the Tools: Options or Special: Settings menu, depending on which version of Eudora you're using).
   
   The answer is that you should almost certainly choose the "Winsock" (Windows) or "TCP/IP" or "MacTCP" (Macintosh) setting. That's the default, because it's the kind of connection most people have. You should only choose the "Dialup" or "Shell account" (Windows) or "Communications Toolbox" (Macintosh) setting if you're positive you have a special kind of account called a shell account. One way to tell which kind of account you have is that if you can use a web browser, it's not a shell account. If you're not sure, you should probably assume that you don't have a shell account.
