+ How do I configure Eudora for use with Spambayes?
+ -------------------------------------------------
+
+ Note: The following instructions have been verified using Eudora 5.1
+ under Windows. If anyone is using Eudora under Max OS please let us
+ know if the configuration is the same as Windows.
+
+ Eudora does not allow configuring the server port through the
+ normal options dialogue. However a large number of options are exposed
+ in an initialization file (eudora.ini) read at startup. The contents
+ of the initialization file are documented by clicking on Help->Topics
+ and searching on EUDORA.INI (you may want to print this help page for
+ future reference.) Depending on how you installed Eudora, eudora.ini
+ is located either in the Eudora install directory or the user's
+ setting directory, e.g.::
+
+ C:\Documents and Settings\userid\ApplicationData\Qualcomm\Eudora\eudora.ini
+
+ 1. Locate ``eudora.ini``.
+
+ 2. Make two copies - ``eudoraok.ini`` for backup and ``eudorame.ini`` to
+ modify.
+
+ 3. Configure pop3proxy for each of Eudora's personalities' POP3 servers,
+ specifying a separate port for each. For example 1110, 1120, 1130 and
+ 1140 for four personalities. Do the same for smtpproxy - for example
+ 1115, 1125, 1135 and 1145 corresponding to the four POP3 servers.
+
+ 4. Close Eudora.
+
+ 5. Open ``eudorame.ini`` with a text editor - Notepad for example. **Do not
+ use a word processor to edit the initialization file**.
+
+ 6. Find the section starting with ``[Settings]``. This contains settings for
+ the dominant personality.
+
+ 7. Find the line beginning ``POPAccount``. The last part of the account name
+ starting with ``@`` is the server. Change it to ``@localhost``.
+
+ 8. Find the lines beginning ``SMTPServer`` and ``POPServer``. They will have
+ the server names defined for your dominant personality.
+
+ 9. Change both server names to ``localhost``.
+
+ 10, Add the following two lines. Use whatever ports you assigned to
+ pop3proxy and smtpproxy for the dominant personality::
+
+ POPPort=1110
+ SMTPPort=1115
+
+ 11. Setting for other personalities are kept in sections beginning with
+ ``[Persona-personality_name]``. For each personality make the same
+ changes as you made for the dominant personality, substituting the
+ proper port numbers.
+
+ 12. Copy ``eudorame.ini`` to ``eudora.ini`` and re-start Eudora.
+
+ 13. In the password dialog for each personality you should see ``localhost``
+ where you used to see the actual server name. This may take some getting
+ used to at first. Since every personality will now have a server named
+ localhost you will have to know what order Eudora prompts for the user
+ id's and passwords.
+
+ 14. If there are any problems, close Eudora, copy eudoraok.ini to eudora.ini
+ and restart Eudora. This will restore Eudora's original configuration
+ until the problem can be resolved.
