ARCHIVED: At IU, in Eudora for Windows, how can I read my Exchange mail using IMAP?

Configure Eudora

To configure Eudora to read your Exchange email, follow these steps:

1. To set up a new Personality (Eudora's term for account configuration settings), from the Tools menu, choose Personalities. Then right-click anywhere in the Personalities window and select New. This will begin the New Account Wizard.
2. Once the New Account Wizard is open, click Next and select Create New Email Account.
3. For "Your Name", enter your full name as you would like it to appear. Click Next.
4. For "Email Address", enter your Indiana University email address, and then click Next.

   If you are unsure of your exact IU email address, see Your IU email address.

5. For "Login Name", enter your IU username. Click Next.
6. For "Incoming Server", enter imap.exchange.iu.edu, and then click Next.
7. For "Type of Server", choose IMAP, and then click Next. On the next screen, leave the "IMAP Location Prefix" field blank.
8. For "Outgoing Server", enter:

     mail-relay.iu.edu

9. Select Allow Authentication.
10. Click Next, and then Finish.

Enable SSL

To enable SSL, follow these directions:

1. In Eudora, select Tools, and then Options. Set both "Checking Mail:" and "Sending Mail:" to Required, Alternate Port.
2. To verify the SSL certificate is in place, in Eudora, click the Personalities button. Right-click the Personality that should contain the SSL certificate and choose Properties.
3. Click the Incoming Mail tab, and then click Last SSL Info. If you have not been granted an SSL certificate, you will see the following error message:

   You have never checked mail using SSL connection with this Personality since the last time you started Eudora.

   Note: The exception to this is when you verify your SSL information by selecting Tools, then Options, and then Checking Mail:; in this case, you will always see the above error.

Note: At IU, do not check the box next to Enable Certification for sending mail. If you do so you will not be able to send mail through IU's mail relays.
