To start Eudora:

• Click on Eudora Lite in the Internet Category of the Launcher

To Reply to a message:

• To "reply" to a message just click "Reply" in the Message menu at the top of the page.

It's easy stuff!

REMINDER: Select the return address from any incoming mail and the add the address to your address book by choosing "Make Address Book Entry" in the Special menu.

SIGNATURE: Make any changes you wish to your automatic "signature" in the Special menu / Signatures / Standard at the top of the page. (Note: One may have alternate signatures for email messages.)

Address Book:

As far as the addressbook is concerned, Eudora Light 3.1.1 uses "Nicknames" to organize the names. The addressbook can be viewed and edited independently in the Special menu / Address Book. It is very intuitive but some suggestions from Dave include:

I like to list the last name first (no spaces in the nicknames) for a more convenient alpha list. My "Nickname" would be "Thomas.David". My name would be "Thomas, David" and my address would be "dthomas@pclink.com (David Thomas)"

Eudora Light uses the "Nickname" as an entry in a new message. Eudora Pro (the commercial version) expands this to the full email address right away. (Remember that this is "freeware" - if you want everything, you have to pay for it). The items in the addressbook can be viewed in two other places when you have a new message on the screen:

1 - Edit Menu

• Click your cursor in the position that you want to place an address entry. Go to the Edit Menu at the top and drag to "Insert Recipient" and the correct address.
• Step by step

-Drag to New Message (in Message Menu at the top)

-Click cursor in To: position

-Place mouse on Edit Menu at the top and Hold down the mouse button

-Drag down to "Insert Recipient" and to the right to the correct Address

-Release the mouse button and view the results.

-The address selected should be in the "To:" position (You may place an address anywhere in the messagewith this technic)

2 - Message Menu

• Select "New Message To" in the Message Menu to have the address automatically inserted in the "To:" position.
• Step by step

-In Message Menu Drag down to "New Message To:"

-Continue to Drag to the right to the address you wish.

-Release the mouse button to select the Address and Voila!, the Message opens with the proper address in place (This is my normal way of opening a new message)

Add Addresses

• New Addresses can be added to the addressbook by Selecting the address (drag over the top of it). Go the Special Menu and select "Make Address Book Entry"
• Step by step

-You receive a new message

-Select (Drag over the top of it to highlight it) the address of the person that sent the message:

-Go to the Special menu and select "Make Address Book Entry"

-Type in the "Nickname" that you wish to use for this entry. (I usually use the "LastName.FirstName" system

-Click "Put On Recipient List"

-Click "Save"

-Address is now in "Address Book"

Delete Addresses

• Addresses can be deleted in the "Address Book".
• Select Special menu / "Address Book"
• Click on the Address to be deleted
• Click on the "Remove" button at the bottom

Edit Addresses

• To edit an address, Go to the Special menu / "Address Book" and make any changes you wish!
• Save the changes before you close the Address Book

Signature:

• In the Special Menu at the top of the screen, Select "Signature" / "Standard"

• Design and enter a personal signature that you would like to have added to any message that you send. This is very convenient and also assures that you identify yourself to the receiver of your message. You can include anything you wish from basic information to a favorite quote or comment that you wish to share with people. You should personalize this! NOTE: You may have more than one signature.

• Save the changes to your Signature
• Any message that you send can have this signature added at the end. (If JH - John Hancock is checked, your signature will automatically be added when you send the message.)
