Email Client Configuration
These documents include information for configuring mail clients to work with NSIT email servers; please note we neither support nor recommend manual configuration. We recommend using the email client included with and configured by the NSIT Connectivity Package.
As of December 12th, 2007, NSIT will no longer support Eudora. This program was discontinued by its manufacturer, Qualcomm. While Eudora may continue to work with NSIT's servers, we cannot guarantee reliable performance. The walkthroughs here are provided as a courtesy only.
