Eudora Lite and More than One E-Mail Account

To set up Eudora Lite to work with more than one E-Mail account you need make 4 changes to the Eudora.ini file and then save the file as Eudora2.ini Etc.

Then to start Eudora on the alternate account you create a new shortcut with the target entered as C:\Eudora\Eudora.exe C:\Eudora\Eudora2.INI where "C" is the appropriate drive letter.

The 4 modifications to the Eudora.ini file are all in the "Settings" section as follows:

Where altname = 2nd user name & alternate.net = 2nd ISP

  1. POPAccount=altname@alternate.net
  2. ReturnAddress=altname@alternate.net
  3. DialupUsername=altname
  4. SMTPServer=mail.alternate.net

Note many setting will remain as they are in the primary account .ini file.

Side Note: To remove Eudora's startup splash screen add the line "NoSplashScreen=1" in the settings section.
