Macintosh Classic Clients

The following e-mail clients have been tested with versions of OS 9. Earlier versions of Classic Mac OS may require older programs that may not support the authenticated SSL SMTP protocol necessary to send mail to MOREnet servers.

Eudora 6.1.1 for Mac OS 9

Eudora 6.1.1 is the last released version for Mac OS Classic. System Requirements for version 6.1.1 include Mac OS 9.0 or later with CarbonLib 1.6 or later.

Configuring SSL Authentication

Authentication with SSL in Eudora requires use of the system feature System Keychain. The Keychain Access control panel must be loaded and have a keychain configured. To configure a keychain, open the Keychain Access control panel. If a keychain has not been configured, the system will prompt you to configure one. Follow the steps for creating a new keychain and close the control panel.
