How to Set Up Eudora 5 to Send and Receive E-mail

You will need your E-mail server settings to set up your E-mail program.

If the E-mail you are using is provided with a Thomas Cole Hosted Domain your incoming mail server (POP3) will be mail.yourdomain.com and your account name will be your full E-mail address.

Your outgoing mail server (SMTP) is dependant on the ISP you are using.
