================================================ EUDORA PRO FOR MACINTOSH VERSION 3.1.3. FREE MAINTENANCE UPGRADE FROM 3.0.x AND 3.1.1 ================================================ This upgrade of Eudora Pro for Macintosh is only for Eudora Pro 3.0, 3.0.1, and 3.1.1 users. You will not be able to install this upgrade unless you have Eudora Pro for Macintosh version 3.0, 3.0.1, or 3.1.1 on your Mac. This README provides information on the following topics: * Drag and Drop Requirements * Installation * New Features and Changes for 3.1.3 * Bug Fixes for 3.1.3 ============================ DRAG AND DROP REQUIREMENTS ============================ If you do not have Macintosh® Drag and Drop running on your Macintosh, certain features may be disabled. Macintosh Drag and Drop is included in System 7.5 and System 7 Pro, but is not in earlier versions of System 7. Macintosh Drag and Drop requires that Finder 7.1.3 or newer is running for the Drag and Drop extensions to work properly. Installing the Drag and Drop extensions with an older Finder has been shown to cause strange behavior, and is not recommended. If you are running a system version with a Finder that is older than 7.1.3, you will be able to drag and drop within the Eudora application. However, you will not be able to drag between Eudora and other running applications. ============== INSTALLATION ============== You can install this version of Eudora Pro over an earlier version of Eudora Pro 3. Just follow the instructions below, and when you open the new version of Eudora Pro, your Settings, mailboxes, etc. will be updated for the new version. To install Eudora Pro, do the following: 1. For a non-CD based installation: restart your Macintosh while holding down the shift key. This turns off your Macintosh extensions. (You must hold down the shift key until you see the message "Extensions off.") 2. If you are installing Eudora from CD-ROM, insert the Eudora Pro CD into your Macintosh CD-ROM drive. If you are installing from diskettes, insert the first Eudora Pro diskette into your Macintosh diskette drive. 3. Double-click on the Eudora Pro Installer icon to start the installation program. The Eudora Installer screen is displayed. 4. Click on the Eudora Pro icon. The Eudora Pro splash screen is displayed. Click Continue to display the Eudora README window. Note: The contents of the README window can be printed or saved to a file for later review. 5. Once you have reviewed the contents of the README window, click Accept. The User Code dialog is displayed. Your five-digit User Code is printed on the inside cover of the User Manual, or, if you are part of a multiple-user site, it should be provided to you by your organization's Eudora support coordinator. If you purchased Eudora by electronic distribution, the User Code is in the e-mail message you received when you purchased the product. 6. Type your User Code in the User Code field and click Continue. Note: If you cannot determine your User Code, you may leave this field blank. The Eudora Install dialog is displayed, allowing you to select which items you want to install. To see a description of an item, click on the item (the description is displayed just below the selection area). 7. To install all of the items except the connectivity software, be sure the default item Full Eudora Pro 3.1.3 without connectivity is selected and click Install. To install all of the items including the connectivity software, select Full Eudora Pro 3.1.3 installation and click Install. Note: Do not use this option if you are already connected to a TCP/IP network. If you are getting an Internet connection for the first time, and your Internet service provider does not provide TCP/IP software, you can use this item to install MacSLIP. To install just the items you want, select them by clicking on each one (hold down the command key to select multiple items, and be sure that neither Full installation item is selected), then click Install. If you selected either of the Full installation items and MacSLIP, the Restart dialog is displayed, informing you that your Macintosh will need to be restarted at the end of the installation. Click Yes. The Eudora Version Selection dialog is displayed, allowing you to select which version you want to install. 680x0 This is the smallest version. It runs on any Macintosh, including Power Macs, but on Power Macintoshes it is not as fast as the PowerPC or Universal versions. PowerPC This version runs only on Power Macintoshes. It does not run on standard 680x0 machines. Universal (or Fat) This version requires the most disk space. It runs on any Macintosh, and on a Power Macintosh runs as fast as the PowerPC version. 8. Select the version you want. A dialog is displayed asking you where you want to install the Eudora Pro Folder. 9. Select the destination folder and click Install. The install program begins installing the items you selected onto the appropriate locations on your disk. 10. If you are installing Eudora from diskettes, insert the appropriate installation diskette when you are prompted. 11. Once the installation is complete, you are prompted to restart your Macintosh. Click Restart. This completes the installation of the Eudora Pro software. To find out how to set up Eudora so that you can send and receive e-mail, see the User Manual section "Opening and Configuring Eudora." For details about the files in the master Eudora Folder that has just been installed or updated in your System Folder (this will hold all your mail and other important files), as well as the Eudora Pro Folder that you've just installed in the destination dialog above, see their corresponding sections in the Reference chapter of the User Manual. (The Eudora Pro Folder is also called the Eudora Pro Application Folder: it is the folder that contains your Eudora application.) If you experience any difficulty during installation, contact the Eudora Technical Support Group at (619) 658-1292. =================================== NEW FEATURES AND CHANGES IN 3.1.3 =================================== Auto-configuration ________________ Auto-configuration support has been added to Eudora by using the Internet standard Application Configuration Access Protocol (ACAP). ACAP is a client/server protocol which allows Eudora to retrieve configuration settings from a central server. These settings include those that must be set up for you to start sending and receiving e-mail, such as your POP account name and SMTP host. In order for you to use the auto-configuration settings, your system administrator or service provider must set up a central server with your personal settings. You can then download those settings whenever you like. Typically, you would do so only when you first start using Eudora. However, you can restore your settings to their original values at any time by downloading them down again. To download your settings, open the Settings dialog under the Special menu and click on the Auto. Configure icon. Fill in the ACAP Server Name and the ACAP Server Username fields; your system administrator or service provider should have told you what to enter in these fields. Click the Fetch Settings Now button and the Auto Configuration password dialog box appears. Type in your password in the password field and press the Configure Automatically button to download your settings from the ACAP server. The following ACAP-related information primarily for use by system administrators and/or service providers. If the "If no account configured, try fetching settings from an ACAP server" setting (#217) is on ("y"), then when Eudora is first launched (actually any time Eudora is launched without a POP account having been specified), the Auto-Configure panel of the Settings dialog is displayed. In the absence of that switch, the Settings dialog's Getting Started panel would appear instead. The setting for the ACAP Server is #218, and the setting for the ACAP Server Username is #219. The port ID used in communicating with the ACAP server is setting #10109. You can obtain detailed information on setting up an ACAP server to support Eudora clients on the Eudora web site. go to http://www.eudora.com/techsupport, click Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), then click Automatic Initial Configuration with ACAP. Note: The upcoming version 2.0 release of the Eudora WorldMail Server will support auto-configuration of Eudora clients. Pre-configuring the POP server __________________________ System administrators can now pre-configure Eudora by putting the Mail Host (POP) server name in the Settings dialog, so that the user needs only to add his or her account name. When Eudora is launched, it displays the Getting Started window of the Settings dialog, the Mail Host (e.g., @domainname) displaying the correct Mail Host setup in your Settings panels. For example, suppose the Mail Host you required was assigned xyz.qualcomm.com. When you start Eudora, Getting Started automatically displays @xyz.qualcomm.com in the Mail Host field. You just need to insert your username in the Username text field. ============================ BUG FIXES IN 3.1.3. ============================ -The nickname address property has been changed to be an Apple Event constant. -The "will be deleted" message is now an Apple Event property. -When Hesiod is enabled, Hesiod calls are now reduced. -The File type and Creator function for PowerPoint files now work. -Undo plain and insertion point issue resolved. -OS8 finder no longer trashes attachments that are dragged from the composition window. -There is no longer a problem when using the settings dialog after GX printing. -Now, you can print just one copy when using GX. -MIME resources no longer display in the settings file. -In OS8, Finder now displays on top by pressing Control while double-clicking on an Attachment. -Issue created by expanding nicknames whose name and expansion are identical no longer exists. -Left justification is now the default instead of the system justification. -Default Ph server is now ns.eudora.com. -Certain menus are now enabled after alerts. -Filters can now redirect and/or forward outgoing mail. -Multiple personality checks now abort if PPP fails to connect. -Reporting error in translater initialization by module name has been corrected. -Modifier keys are now in dialog lists. -You can now find helper applications by creator. -Mailboxes window is now being properly updated after moving mailboxes. -You can now save filter use dates. -Fixed problem noticing PPP connections that die immediately. -Under OT, made sure background connection actually closes. -Fixed problem cooperating with ARA 3.0's brand of OT/PPP. -Fixed minor problem after cancelling toolbar button in creation dialog. 11/13/97
