Netinfo/Interchange - Setting Up Email (Secure POP) using Eudora 5.1 - 6.x [Mac]

This document explains how to set up Eudora 5.1 - 6.x [Mac] for Netinfo/Interchange using Secure POP (POPS).

Note: To use SSL in Eudora, you must have Apple's Keychain installed on your computer. SSL is not yet supported under OS X. You must upgrade to at least OS 10.2 to use SSL.

Note: The 'Light' version of Eudora does not support secure email services. If you are using Eudora Light, you will either have to convert to sponsored mode or paid mode to get Eudora to work with the following instructions. Sponsored Mode is free but enables advertisements in Eudora. Paid Mode can only be enabled if you pay for the software. To convert Eudora from 'Light' mode to 'Sponsored' mode, go to the Help menu and select Payment & Registration. Click on the Sponsored Mode icon and close the window.
