How to Install Eudora on a Mac

2. Print the "readme" file that will appear on the next screen. It contains information you may want to refer to later.

Tips & Warnings

• If in doubt, install Eudora as a new installation. This will prevent you from any potential pitfalls associated with updating earlier versions.
• You must use Eudora version 6.0, 6.2.1 or higher if you wish to install the Eudora client directly over an earlier version. However, you must install the new version of Eudora in "Classic Mode," or the computer will not be able to complete the operation.
