  Eudora Pops to IMAP to prepare for Exchange   

ITS can not continue its support for Eudora once Exchange is available.  While POP access is still an option, it will not include the calendaring system or directory information for University of Idaho contacts, features you can get by using Outlook or Outlook Web Access (OWA).  In order to move to Outlook you will have to move your messages back to our servers using the current IMAP system. 

Here are the instructions for moving your folders back:

  1. Select the Tools drop down menu in Eudora and click on Options.

    Tools Options
     
  2. Change the "Mail Server (Incoming):" setting to be "imap.uidaho.edu"

    Getting Started
     
  3. Click on the Incoming Mail category on the left hand side and change the Server Configuration: option to be IMAP. Then click OK to close the Options window.

  4. You will be asked to enter your Novell/AD password for the IMAP server.

  5. Once you have successfully logged in you will see your local folders listed under Eudora in the folder list to the left. List under the <Dominant> section are your "VandalMail" folders. To create a new folder on the VandalMail system right click on <Dominant> and select New.

    New Folders
     
  6. The New Mailbox window will open and you can create a new Mailbox on the VandalMail system (do not check "Make it a folder").

    New Mailbox dialog
     
  7. Once you have created folders under <Dominant> you may drag and drop messages from your local folders to VandalMail. Once you have moved your folders and messages back to our VandalMail servers you are ready to go ahead with the Exchange migration.
