Configuring Eudora 6.2 (MAC) for Flexnet GMAIL ACCOUNT

Before setting up your email client (in this case, Eudora 6.2 for MACs), you MUST MUST MUST setup your FlexGmail account for POP access. Failure to do this will doom any email client from ever working at all!



SETTING UP YOUR FLEXGMAIL ACCOUNT FOR POP3 ACCESS:

1. Please go to http://webmail.flex.com to get to this login screen.
Sign in with your FLEXNET Username. Then sign in with your TEMPORARY PASSWORD you were issused. However, if already changed your password to something else, then of course put that in instead! Click "Sign In".

To find out your TEMPORARY PASSWORD, login to the Flexnet Member section. Your TEMP PASSWORD will be shown to you!



2. Click "Settings" in the upper right hand corner:




3. In the "Settings" screen area, you should be in "GENERAL" tab as shown (if not, click on "General").
Now, click on "Forwarding and POP":




4. DISABLE FORWARDING, make sure this radio button is checked! Make sure under "POP Download" you click under #1 the radio button "Enable POP for all mail", under #2 "delete flex.com's copy. Click "Save Changes" as shown.




Note: In rare cases, you will be denied access to SMTP/POP in FlexGmail. An error message will appear saying your username/password is wrong and is not accepted. If you believe this is you, open a help desk trouble ticket stating the passsword you are putting in. There is a workaround for this specific issue.

SETTING UP Eudora 6.2 for MACS: (thanks to "fyap" for MAC screenshots)

1. Open Eudora for Macs. On the menu bar click "Special" then select "Settings".

In the "Settings" windown, click on "Getting Started" (if not already automatically selected).
Fill in "User Name" with your email address as shown.
"Mail Server" should be "pop.gmail.com".

For "SMTP Server" put in "smtp.gmail.com" and fill-in "Email Address".




2. Click on "Sending Mail" icon located on the left hand side. Make sure "Allow authorization" is checked:




3. Now click on "SSL" icon on the left. Make sure both "SSL for POP" and "SSL for SMTP" has
"Required (Alternate Port)" selected. Also the radio button "TLS 1.0" should be checked.
Finally, click "OK" on the bottom right.




Your Eudora is now configured for use with FlexGmail and will automatically check for new incoming email
every 10 minutes.
