Most users will be interested in using the Eudora's Sponsored or Light mode. (You can change modes at any time by clicking the Help menu, clicking the Payment & Registration menu item, then choosing the mode you want.)

In Light mode, Eudora only supports a single user (which it calls the "Dominant" account). In Paid or Sponsored mode, Eudora supports "Multiple Personalities" which allows one or more user to manage multiple e-mail accounts. The way that you configure Eudora will depend on the mode you're using.

Double-click the Eudora icon to start Eudora. If this is the first time you have run Eudora, you may get the New Account Wizard. If not, follow the steps below for setting up an account manually.
