I have a laptop that I use both at home and at work. How do I get Eudora to use my commercial ISPs SMTP server at home and the UIC SMTP servers at work?
• The easiest way is to use the ACCC’s authenticated SMTP server, mail.uic.edu, which works both on- and off-campus. • Another way is to use an alternate personality; see Using Alternate Personalities in Eudora. • A third way is to have set up two instances of Eudora up on your laptop; one for home and one for work. That means you’ll have two eudora.ini files, which you’ll have to keep in sync by hand. Here’s how: • First create a copy of your EUDORA.INI file in your Eudora folder. Call it, say, eudoraini.isp • Use a text editor to change the line that reads “SMTPServer=smtpserv1.cc.uic.edu” to use your ISP’s SMTP server value. • Then, create a new desktop shortcut named Eudora/Your ISP: Right click on blank part of your desktop, click New, then Shortcut, and make the command line look like this: “C:\Program Files\UICNSKit\Eudora\Eudora.exe” eudoraini.
