SSL Setup (Mac)

ISSUE:

How does one configure Eudora to check/send mail with SSL?

SOLUTION

Requirements for SSL:

Eudora 5.1 or higher

Server must support SSL

Macintosh's 'System Keychain must be loaded. If you are using a version of the Mac OS prior to 9.x, you can download the System Keychain from Apple's website.

For OS X users, make sure you are running OS 10.2 or higher and you are running Eudora 5.2 or higher. Again the System Keychain must be enabled.

The 'Keychain Access' control panel must loaded, and have a keychain configured. To configure a keychain, open the 'Keychain Access' control panel. If you do not already have a keychain configured, you will be prompted to do so. Follow the steps for creating a new keychain, then close the control panel. If you already have a keychain configured, close the control panel, and proceed to the next step.

Configuring Eudora to use SSL

Launch Eudora

Click on the Special menu, and select 'Settings'.

Click on SSL, and choose the appropriate form of SSL required by the Mail Server
