The Eudora Email System: Tips for a Smoother Installation

It's been a month since Eudora was released to the MIT community. Most 
of those who downloaded Eudora were able to install and use it from the 
start. However, the Computing Help Desk did receive questions, most of 
which fell into four categories. The answers to these questions are in 
the Basic FAQs About Eudora at MIT at 

http://web.mit.edu/tps/www/eudora/faq.html

The four types of issues that arose with Eudora installation are 
summarized below. Related links in Basic FAQs are listed at the end of 
each bullet.

* Kerberos errors (Eudora/Macintosh). Some Macintosh users were 
getting Kerberos errors because their Eudora installation conflicted 
with previous versions of Kerberos on their machines. (Click on "Getting 
Kerberos errors using Eudora for the Mac.")

* Kerberos errors (Eudora/Windows 95). Users with PCs running 
Windows 95 and using the Microsoft networking capabilities that come 
with it also got errors related to Kerberos after installation. Their 
configurations required additional Kerberos files that are normally 
installed when using LAN WorkPlace for networking, but are not part of 
the Microsoft networking software. (Click on "Problems with installing 
Eudora to run with Windows 95.")

* Multiple Eudora users on one machine. Some offices want to set up 
one computer to handle multiple Eudora users. This requires additional 
steps after installation. (Click on "Setting up multiple users of Eudora 
on one computer.")

* Incomplete user information. In some cases, there was confusion as 
to how to fill in the post office server information related to a user's 
email address, which is required for Eudora to work. (Click on "Getting 
`connection came up halfway and failed' error.")
