Following are the instructions to configure Eudora 5 to use with your Family's Choice POP3 email account.

NOTE: In our testing, Eudora 5 disabled Netscape Communicator's Email program (Messenger) so that it would not start, and you could not view email from Netscape Messenger. If you intend to continue using Netscape Messenger as an email program and need a second email program, we recommend you NOT install Eudora 5; instead Install Outlook Express, or an earlier version of Eudora. (The problem was remedied by uninstalling Eudora 5, but Netscape subsequently started with an annoying postal.dll error that did not cause problems, but is just annoying. To get rid of the postal.dll error you must either create a new profile, or reinstall Netscape.)

These instructions are divided into two parts:
I. Program Installaton
