  7. Click the "OK" button to save any changes.

Note: if after selecting "Required, Alternate Port" you are still unable to send or receive mail, you may need to do the following - close Eudora, locate the Eudora installation folder, open the extrastuff folder found within and copy the file 'esoteric.epi' into the installation directory, run Eudora, and open the options page. There is now a 'Ports' tab; select it, then set SMTP Port to 465, POP Port to 995 and IMAP Port to 993.
