Eudora by QualcommTechnical
Instructions are included here to help you change your email ID so that when you send a message, it appears to come from your village address rather than your default address. Doing this really makes the system work at its best - your default address effectively becomes transparent and recipients are not aware of whether you're on Freeserve, Tesco, BTClick or whatever. All they see is the village address.
Note that not all ISPs allow you to change your outgoing mail ID. We are aware that AOL does prohibit it, and also Compuserve may do so as well. Please inform us if you know differently or if you know of others who apply restrictions.
Follow the instructions below as appropriate to your email software. If you use email software not listed below and know how to change your email ID, please send us a description - we'll add it to the list below.
