<p>If you want to format your emails with colors and fonts and styles, I'd suggest using either Eudora or Outlook rather than Webmail.</p>
<p>You can download these programs free at this</a> site if you have first gotten MIT</a> certificates for your computer.</p>
<p>I tried to instiall my MIT email in Outlook Express, it asked me for "incoming mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) server." What should I put for that? What about "outgoing mail (SMTP server)?"</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I have Eudora configured with IMAP, and it seems that the outgoing server is (logically enough) outgoing.mit.edu. :)</p>
<p>I'm downloading Eudora from MIT right now. So, outgoing.mit.edu is all I need? How about incoming.mit.edu (is this logical) for incoming server?</p>
<p>never mind, it never asked me for it when I was installing. I looked at the "help" menu and found "payment and registration." It said that if I used "paid mode" it will charge me. Mollie, did you use the "paid mode," the "sponsored mode", or the "light mode?"</p>
<p>I tried to create my signature, but it don't let me. Do you know how I can create one. Thanks!</p>
<p>Hi everyone. As a current student consultant at the MIT Computing Help Desk, I'd like to let you guys know that we will no longer be supporting Eudora in the near future and we are recommending people switch to Outlook, Outlook Express, or Apple Mail.</p>
<p>Also, you can learn about the proper configuration to set up an email client at: <a href="http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/email/index.html%5B/url%5D">http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/email/index.html</a>.</p>
<p>Thunderbird much?</p>
<p>putty.</p>
<p>'nuff said.</p>
<p>Sweet, thanks Sidssana!</p>
<p>Can we find the instructions for obtaining our MIT email address online?</p>
<p>The instructions are sent in that big package arriving in May. There is a page with your MIT ID and a code of activation that can only be used once. Try to look for that email account setup page in the package.</p>
<p>ughhh.... </p>
<p>coming up with a good email address is going to be my hardest assignment right now.</p>
<p>Haha, why not danielsjang? :)</p>
<p>i got my packet! (loads of stuff man)</p>
<p>but um anyone else having problems accessing the register site? it says "the registration server unexpectedly stopped communicating with us. This may indicate a temporary problem with the registration system, or with the network...." for me and stops... =(</p>

You need the coupon code from the mailings to sign up, but yes, of course...MIT has instructions for everything :D</p>
<p>Thunderbird should also work well.</p>
<p>I'm stuck with something I made from the MITES program... oh well.</p>
<p>I tried to create some folders (names include "hometown," "family," "school," etc) but the webmail did not allow me to do so. These names were not bad words; why didn't it let me create these mailbox folders? You know, like Hotmail and Yahoo, you can create folders to classify your emails.</p>
<p>You have to check the "INBOX" checkbox in the "Folders" menu when you create a new folder -- that is, your folders have to be one level below the inbox.</p>
<p>Thanks so much! I got it!</p>
