I received this message from Ray Campbell of the computer help line of the Chicago Lighthouse for people who are blind or visually impaired. Maybe it will help with the At&T conversion to SSL.



Below is part of the text of an article I wrote that will eventually go in our knowledge base giving step by step instructions on setting Eudora for SSL. It should guide you pretty well through doing this, but if you need my help, please feel free to give me a call.

Here's the portion of the article:

1. Open Eudora to your list of messages in the inbox. If it doesn't come up when you open Eudora, hold down the control key and press 1 to get to
the inbox.

2.      Hold down the alt key and press "t" to get to the tools menu.

3.      Press "o" to get to the options menu.

4. You will be in a list of available categories. Up arrow or press the letter "c" to get to the checking mail item.

5. Tab until you get to the edit field for your incoming mail server. Type: "pop.att.yahoo.com" (without quotes). Press tab until you get to a combo box that says "Secure sockets when receiving." Arrow down until the combo box says "Required, Alternate Port." Press tab until you get back to the checking
mail item.

6.      Arrow down to the sending mail item.

7. Press tab until you get to an edit field where you can type in your SMTP server. Type: "smtp.att.yahoo.com" (without quotes). Press tab until you get to a combo box that says "Secure sockets when sending." Arrow down until the combo box says "required, alternate port." Tab until you get to
the OK button and press enter.

This changes your Eudora settings. The "Required, alternate port" settings in the Secure Sockets when receiving and secure sockets when sending combo boxes automatically tell Eudora to retrieve mail using ports 995 and 465, respectively.
