  • Use of the Eudora software requires an account.
  1. Request an account

    Before you can start using Eudora, you must have an account on an email server. You may obtain an account on the Central Mail Service (CMS) or, if your department offers its own email server, you may obtain an account on that server.

    To create an account on the Central Mail Service, complete the web form available on the web page:

    http://www.itc.virginia.edu/helpdesk/accounts/home.html

    After you have completed and submitted the web form, click the Back button on your web browser to return to this page.

  1. Change your email server password

    To protect your account, you need to change your password. How you change your password will vary depending on the server on which your account resides.
