How to Configure your Eudora Email for Encryption
Camden Computing Services will be implementing a change on August 1, 2006 to increase the security of our e-mail. Specifically, when your Rutgers e-mail travels between your computer and the Rutgers e-mail server, the communication will require encryption.To accommodate this implementation, a couple of settings in your computer's e-mail program must be changed. Unless the changes are made, your Rutgers e-mail won't function correctly after July 31, 2006.
Please follow the instructions provided.
Launch your Eudora email program.
Click on Tools in the top toolbar
At the bottom of the box that appears, click on Options
Click on Getting Started on the left side of the window and make sure Allow authentication is checked in the right pane.
