Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / August 2004Changing smtp port?
Good afternoon, Have been having difficulty sending mail from my home isp when I am not at home. I use pobox.com and they offer their own smtp server to use. I was using eudora 5.2 and then upgraded to 6.1. The instructions I got from pobox.com: which states: "Quit Eudora and look in the Eudora Application Folder for the folder "Extras". In this folder is a file "Esoteric Settings". Drag this file into the "Eudora Stuff" folder, then launch Eudora. Go to Special: Settings: Ports & Protocols: and change the ports here." I don't have this folder and have no idea how to change to their alternate smtp port. Was wondering how I may go about changing to 587 without totally screwing things up. > I use pobox.com and they offer their own smtp server to use. I was > using eudora 5.2 and then upgraded to 6.1.

You didn't say what OS you're using, and it does make a difference. If you're using OS X, go to the Finder, do a "Get Info" on the Eudora application, then activate the Esoteric Settings plugin from there. If you're using pre-OS X, find your Eudora Stuff folder (inside your Eudora Folder, maybe in your Documents folder or in the System folder, depending on when you first began using Eudora) and follow the instructions from pobox.com. You'll need to restart Eudora for the esoteric settings to become available.
