Accessing your RYA Online e-mail account via Eudora By default access to RYA Online's e-mail accounts is via the webmail service through your web browser. You can however access your RYA Online e-mail account via a POP3 mail client. Please Note that if you use a POP3 mail client to access your RYA Online e-mail account, you will only be able to send e-mail when you dial in to RYA Online's system direct. Due to the need for anti-spam rules (to stop unsolicited e-mail being relayed off our server) the RYA Online mail server will only accept e-mail for sending that comes from a valid IP address on the RYA Online system. We do not supply and so therefore can not support Eudora software, however we have compiled the following instructions to help you configure Eudora to access your RYA Online e-mail account. (The following instructions are for Eudora Pro 3.0.2. If you are running any other version of Pro, or any of the shareware versions Eudora Lite, then these instructions will only be a guideline.) 1) Open your copy of Eudora, go to the Tools menu and click Options. 2) You will be presented with the Getting Started screen (Fig 1). Fig 1 3) Fill in as per Fig 1, changing account to your e-mail account and Your Name to your name. Then click on the Personal Info icon on the left. 4) You will be presented with the Personal Info screen (Fig 2). Fig 2 5) Set the Return Address as your e-mail account@rya-online.net, then click on the Hosts icon on the left. 6) You will be presented with the Hosts screen (Fig 3). Fig 3 7) Set SMTP to post.rya-online.net, then click on the Checking Mail icon on the left. 8) You will be confronted with the Checking Mail screen (Fig 4). Fig 4 9) You can configure how Eudora will operate on this screen. If you want Eudora to remember your password, then tick the Save Password box, if you want it to prompt you for your password whenever you check mail, then leave the Save Password box blank. Please note the account and password are case sensitive and must be entered exactly as they were setup. If you type it in uppercase and it should be lowercase, or visa versa, it will fail. If you want Eudora to check your e-mail automatically when you are online then set the Check for mail every box to a time interval. i.e. if you set it to 10 minutes then when you are online and Eudora is open, it will check for new messages every 10 minutes. If you want copies of your messages left on the server then tick the Leave mail on server box, note however that if you set this on, specify a time to keep the e-mails for, using the Delete from server after box. Click on the OK button to complete. Eudora is now setup to access your RYA Online e-mail address. If you have any difficulties with your copy of Eudora, please contact Eudora's help line. As RYA Online do not supply or support this software in anyway.
