Setting up your computer for email

To get your email account working, you'll need to setup an `Email client' which is software that understands and knows how to handle email. As an example (that we'll hope you'll follow), we've chosen an excellent Email client called Eudora Light. It is meant to be run on Windows.

Like everything, though, email clients will require installation and configuration. Guides for two clients are provided here.

To obtain these programs, you'll first need to download them. If you haven't already done so, you can do that now. http://www.download.com/ and http://www.shareware.com/ are two good places to find alternative Email clients should you choose not to use Eudora or Netscape. The links for Eudora and Netscape are provided inside the guides themselves.
