  • After you type in your password, you should start getting mail.


  • There are many settings to play with, but basically if you go into the Tools menu and select Options, you will be able to change all the options available.


Some highlights of the options:

    • Under Checking Mail - save password checkbox
    • Under Getting Attention - play a sound : allows you to disable/change which sound will be played
    • Under Junk Mail - all settings : allows you to choose how to handle junk mail


  • Once all this is done, if you want to be able to use ph in eudora, you need to set it up in the Directory Services Tab. To get there, click Tools -> Directory Services That will bring up a screen like this:


  • First click on the Ph protocol under registered drivers, then click New Database. A modify database window will appear. Fill in your settings like this:



  • Click OK to add the database to your list. Then make sure you have it checked, then run a few queries to make sure it works.
