Using PC-Leland with Eudora and IMAP

PC-Leland requires a version of Eudora that supports the kerberos password encryption protocol. We recommend using Eudora version 5.1 or later. You can obtain a free copy of Eudora at: http://ess.stanford.edu/pc/.

If you do not have an IMAP email account, see the IMAP Email Service web pages at http://imap.stanford.edu for information.

If you already have an IMAP email account, follow these instructions for configuring the email settings for your email client.

Step 1: Check PC-Leland's IMAP email settings.

a) In the PC-Leland Settings dialog box (right-click the PC-Leland icon and select Settings...) select Email from the settings options in the left pane.

b) Select canonical IMAP from the Email list and click the Properties button.

c) The correct settings for Leland IMAP Email Services are as follows:

Proxy type: IMAP

Use Canonical Server: On (checked)

Listen on port: 143

Server port: 143

User name: your SUNet ID

Encrypt Session: If this option is On (checked), the entire IMAP session will be encrypted, including all data sent between the client and server. With the option Off (unchecked), the actual messages are sent in the clear. POP does not provide any encryption on its data.

If you use a kerberized IMAP server other than Leland Email Services, the settings are as follows:

Proxy type: IMAP

Use Canonical Server: Off (unchecked)

Mail server: server name (enter the name of the IMAP server where you receive your mail)

Listen on port: 143

Server port: 143 (make sure this is the port number your IMAP server is actually listening on)

User name: your username

Encrypt Session: If this option is On (checked), the entire IMAP session will be encrypted, including all data sent between the client and server. With the option Off (unchecked), the actual messages are sent in the clear. POP does not provide any encryption on its data.

Step 2: Change the Incoming Mail Server in your email program to localhost. Specific instructions for configuring Eudora 4.x are included below.

How to configure Eudora 4.x for use with PC-Leland

a) Select Options from the Tools menu. Then select the Checking Mail settings and enter the following values:

Enter localhost for the Mail Server

Enter your SUNet ID for the Login Name

Save password: On (checked) -- (This will keep Eudora from popping up its own password dialog box each time you open the program).

b) Select Options from the Tools menu. Then select the Incoming Mail settings, enter the following values and click OK:

Select IMAP for the Server configuration

Leave IMAP Mailbox Location Prefix blank

Select Passwords for the Authentication Style

c) For the changes to take effect, close down Eudora and re-open it.

Retrieving email in Eudora:

select Check Mail from the File menu
type "Stanford" in Eudora's Password Entry dialog box that is presented. DO NOT type your real password in this box because it will be stored on your computer.
if you are not already logged into PC-Leland, type your SUNet ID password in the PC-Leland login box when it is presented and click OK.
