Sending Mail from a Remote Location

Beginning April 1st, 2002, the CAMAIL service will undergo a small change that will affect how its users send mail from locations outside of the Harvard network. These users will include those that check their mail from their respective home ISPs, other universities, etc. This document explains the necessary changes needed for both Eudora and for Outlook to continue to send mail normally after this change goes into effect.

Eudora

  1. Click on the Tools menu option at the top of the Eudora screen.
  2. Click on the Options... menu option:

    Eudora Options Menu

  3. In the Options dialog box that will be on your screen, click on the Sending Mail icon on the left-hand side of the dialog box.
  4. Check the box beside the Allow authentication item, if it does not already have a check beside it.
