Does Eudora require you to enter your password every time you check mail?

Try this:
Close Eudora and open eudora.ini in Notepad. Scroll down to find the sections for your Personalities and add SavePassword=1 in each. You will be asked only one more time.

Try looking for eudora.ini in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Qualcomm\Eudora if your installation is a default installation. You can also use the Windows search function to find it.

When you have trouble with email, it can be quite helpful to see how your computer connects to the mail server. These actions take place behind the scenes, and are performed by your mail client.

If you’re a Windows XP (and previous) user, go to “Start” and “Run” and type “cmd” in the command line. If you’re using Vista, use the “Start Search” dialog box and type “cmd” and hit enter. Don’t include the quote marks when typing cmd. Mac users, please go to Applications and then Utilities and double click on Terminal.

Now that you have a command line, use the following example to access your mail server.

telnet mail.yourdomain.com 110
Trying 65.162.17.18…
Connected to mail.yourdomain.com.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
+OK Dovecot ready.
user you@yourdomain.com
+OK
pass yourpassword
+OK Logged in.
quit
+OK Logging out.
Connection closed by foreign host.

Make sure to type in your actual domain and user name. If you’re able to connect to your mail server using this method, then there is a path to the server, and the problem lies with your mail program (i.e., Outlook, Eudora).
