Setup

To access your second email account you have to setup a second email program in addition to the one you are using.

If you are presently using Netscape or Internet Explorer for your primary email account, you can use Eudora Lite for your second email account.

You can get a copy of Eudora Lite at the site: http://www.eudora.com
Latest version, it is approximately 5 megs.

Or you can get an earlier version (330K) at: ftp://ftp.sunlink.net/pub/rwagner/index.html

It is freeware (no cost).

If you are presently using Eudora for your primary email account, then you can use the Netscape email program for your second email account.
