How to change ports on Eudora


There are 2 methods to change the port numbers: (Depends on the version you have)

Option 1
Eudora uses an initialization file called Eudora.ini and is normally located
in the same folder as the Eudora application itself. It contains all the
information needed to configure the behavior of Eudora.
Note: First make a backup of this file before making any changes to it.
Also, use notepad to make changes to the file.

The Eudora.ini file has a number of sections. Each section starts with a word in
square brackets. The most important section is the one called [settings] and is
usually the first section in the file.

Here you should see SMTPPort, POPPort and IMAPPort. You can change the
port numbers here.

[Settings]
AlwaysConnected=0
DontShowUpdates=1
POPAccount=your acount
RealName=your name
ReturnAddress=your e-mail address
CheckForMailEvery=10
SavePassword=1
LeaveMailOnServer=0
SMTPPort=25
POPPort=110

Option 2
Exit Eudora. Look in the Eudora directory for the folder "Extrastuff". In this
folder there is a file named esoteric.epi. Drag this file into the main
Eudora directory. Restart Eudora then go to the Tools menu, Options, Ports, and
change the ports here as needed.
