End of Life for Eudora

Sep 24, 2010

The UC Davis campus has made changes to their email system that will keep Eudora users from retrieving email.

Here is the notice from UC Davis computing (IET)  (Boring alert!)


Starting at 3pm on Thursday, September 23rd, 2010 central campus email servers, mail.ucdavis.edu, will be switching to InCommon SSL certificates.

IET has tested supported email clients, with the new SSL certificates and experienced no issues with the new certificates. Unsupported email clients were not tested. Eudora has been known to have issues with certificate changes. IT Express will not be able to provide support for individuals using Eudora or any other unsupported email client.


This is not a surprise. Eudora has not been supported for many years, and we have notified ANR that the End of Life was coming.

Yesterday was the day. 

I need my email!  What can I do right now?
Use Geckomail.  http://geckomail.ucdavis.edu You can read/send email from there.

I hate Geckomail!  What else can I do?
Geckomail is only a stop-gap solution.  ANR is moving toward Microsoft Exchange.  Because of this, my only recommendation is that you use Microsoft Outlook for your email.

How do I set up Outlook?
You can go to this page, it has all the instructions you need.

I can't figure any of this stuff out...can you help me?
Yes, we can.  Call Damon DiPietro at (530) 754-3920.   

Why is computer stuff so complicated?  I've been getting my regular mail (catalogs, junk mail, and bills) at the same place for the last 80 years, and it still works!
All your bases are belong to us.

It's old fashioned, but it still works.  And it takes 3 days.
