Checking and Receiving Mail

1. Choose "Check Mail" from the File menu.
2. Type in your password (if the program asks for it.) The progress window will appear.
3. If you don't have any mail, a "no mail" dialog will appear. Click "OK" to get rid of it.
4. If you do have mail, Eudora will grab them one at a time. The "new mail" dialog will appear. Click "OK" to get rid of it.

To use automatic mail checking:

1. Choose "Settings..." from the Special Menu.
2. Click on "Checking Mail."
3. Type in the number of minutes you want Eudora to wait before checking for your mail again. We recommend every 10 minutes.
4. Click "OK" to close the dialog.

Eudora won't check for mail while you're using it to create a message or read mail. It has to sit idle for at least a minute before it starts checking mail again.

Creating a Nickname

1. Choose "Nicknames" from the Window menu.
2. Click "New".
3. Type the nickname you want to use in the dialog box.
4. If you think you're going to use this nickname a lot, choose "Make Recipient", and Eudora will put it on the Quick Recipient list.
5. Click "OK". The Nicknames window will come up with the new nickname selected and the cursor in the Address(es): box. Now type in the full address for the person you're nicknaming.
6. Press tab to move to the Notes: field. You can enter useful information like phone and fax numbers here.
7. Choose "Save" from the File menu.

To create a nickname from a message:

1. Open the message whose sender you'd like to nickname.
2. Choose "Make Nickname" from the Special menu.
3. Continue from 3 above. Eudora will automatically enter the address from that message in the Address(es): field.

Attaching Documents to Your Mail

1. While you're working on a message, choose "Attach Document" from the Message menu.
2. Use the dialog box to choose the document you want to send.
