Using SSL for Your Personalities
Our servers do not currently support SSL for e-mail. SSL is enabled by default in Eudora, and will cause an error message to be displayed unless you disable it. Be sure that SSL is not enabled for your account by following this procedure:
- From the Tools menu, choose Personalities. The Personalities window appears.
- For an existing personality, highlight the personality and choose Properties from the context menu. For a new personality, right-click anywhere in the Personalities window to display the context menu. Choose New and then choose Skip directly to advanced account setup. The Account Settings dialog appears.
- Choose the Generic Properties tab. In the Secure Sockets when Sending field, click the down arrow to display the drop-down menu and select Never.
- Choose Incoming Mail tab. In the Secure Sockets when Receiving field, click the down arrow to display the drop-down menu and select Never.
If you're experiencing problems sending or receiving e-mail, the information contained in our E-Mail Troubleshooter may help diagnose and solve the problem.
