Eudora 5.1 or higher

Versions 5.1 and higher of Eudora Pro allow you to set up multiple email
accounts, so you don't have to replace your current POP and SMTP settings in
order to send and receive new Yahoo! Mail messages.

1. Click on the "Tools" menu and select "Personalities."
2. Right-click in the "Personalities" box (on the left of the screen) and
select "New." 
3. The New Account Wizard will take you through the set up.
4. Use the following settings:
   - Personality Name : Yahoo! Mail
   - Account Settings : Select "Create a new account."
   - Personal Information : Enter your name.
   - Email Address : Enter your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., user at yahoo.com).
   - Login Name : Enter your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the
     "@yahoo.com").
   - Incoming Email Server :  Type "pop.mail.yahoo.com" and make sure that
     "POP" is selected at the bottom.
   - Outgoing Email Server : Type "smtp.mail.yahoo.com."
   - Check the box next to "Allow authentication."
5. Click the "Finish" button when you are done.

To control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server, follow these
steps: 

1. Click on the "Tools" menu and select "Options."
2. Click the picture on the left that says "Incoming Mail."
3. Check "Delete from server after..." if you want your messages to be
   deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server once you have received them Eudora.
   Do not check this box if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on
   the Yahoo! Mail server as well as on your local computer.
