Configuring Eudora

If you are using Eudora as your e-mail application, you must set up MAPI in
Eudora.

To set up MAPI in Eudora:

1.

From the Eudora Tools menu, select Options.

2.

Do one of the following:

– If Eudora is the only e-mail application that you use, select Always as the

MAPI setting.

– If you use more than one e-mail application, select When Eudora is running

as the MAPI setting.

3.

Ensure that your username and password are set up correctly within Eudora.
This information is needed to log in to Eudora to retrieve and synchronize your
e-mail.

IMPORTANT

Eudora must be running in order for you to perform a HotSync

operation. The VersaMail application synchronizes with your Dominant Personality in
Eudora 5.1 or later.

Converting attached files

You can use attachment conversion plug-ins to convert attached files that you are
receiving. Documents To Go plug-ins are automatically configured; however, you
must install Documents To Go version 5 on your desktop computer and on your
handheld for attachments to be converted properly. Version 5 of Documents To Go
is included on the Software Essentials CD-ROM that came with your handheld. See
the Documents To Go Getting Started Manual for more information.
