![]() Having already installed what’s being referred to here as a Hermes update, I figured I’d have to abandon Eudora after all these years. Comcast gives an address with which you can check whether your program will work following the change – and my two Eudora setups (under Windows XP and Windows 7) both failed Comcast’s test. Recently, Comcast started announcing that “older email programs” would no longer work after March 31st. I’ve been doing all my email correspondence with Eudora ever since 2004 – perhaps even earlier. The time period data is “Not before Jan 1:00:00:00 2004 GMT Not After Dec 31 23:59:59:59 2008 GMT.”ĭoes it appear to you that I installed an obsolete root certificate? Do the new error messages suggest a further path for successful repair?ĭo you have a tip jar? Your help deserves reward. The reason given is: Certificate Error: Unknown unprovided root certificate. When I tried to send mail – as a test of interim progress -the error message was: Connecting to the Mail Server SSL negotiation Failed The connection with the server has been lost.”Īfter I installed the extracted four files from the HERMES directory, the error message is: When I check mail, the error message is: “Logging into POP Server CAPA Server does not support SSL”. My results now differ from the error messages I had before. I think I performed all the steps you suggested. Then I configured my Eudora app to use STARTTLS when checking or sending mail. I accessed the sources you indicated, downloaded the zip files you listed, read the read me file you specified, closed Eudora, confirmed that I already had installed both x86 and 圆4 versions of MS Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable in my computer (so I did not reintall those apps), I renamed “QCSSL.dll” to “QCSSL.old” in my Eudora program folder as you wrote, and copied four files you listed from the extracted HERMES file folder to my Eudora program folder. Yes, I confirm that I am using Eudora 7.1.0.9. Thank you taking an interest in my post and replying with pertinent information and accessible documentation. This reply was modified 1 year, 6 months ago by GoneToPlaid. That’s it! Now all you need to do is to configure Eudora to use STARTTLS when either checking or sending mail. Copy the four files (highlighted in my second attached screen capture) from the extracted HermSSL.zip file to your Eudora program folder.ĥ. Go to your Eudora program folder and rename the “QCSSL.dll” to “QCSSL.old”.Ĥ. Attached is a screen capture which shows that I have both the x86 and 圆4 versions installed. ![]() Either may already be installed on your computer. Install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (vcredist.exe which is in the Hermes ZIP file). See this SourceForge post which has better instructions:Ģ. Unfortunately, these instructions are not very good. ![]() The Readme.txt file in the Hermes ZIP file contains the instructions for upgrading your Eudora to properly support the newer SSL standards and to use the updated root certificates. Here is where to get the Hermes Mail package for Eudora: This is what I had to do over two years ago when my email provider upgraded their email server’s security settings. This is because you most likely will need to download and install the Hermes Mail files which will upgrade Eudora’s root certificates and which will upgrade one of Eudora’s DLLs to use the new root certificates and to use TLS version 1.2. Configure Sending Mail in the same way.Įven after configuring Eudora to use the correct settings, Eudora still might not work correctly. In Eudora in Options and then under Checking Mail, you will need to set Secure Sockets when Receiving to Required, STARTTLS. This webpage shows how to configure Eudora for use with : This means that you will have to enable STARTTLS in Eudora both for sending and receiving email. It is obvious that Earthlink is now requiring SSL for send and receive. What version of Eudora are you using? I figure that you are using Eudora 7.1.0.9.
