1. Launch the Eudora.
2. Click the drop-down from the tools menu, and choose the Options button.
3. Click on Ports.
4. Change the port from default 25 to 26.
5. Click the OK button.
6. Restart the Eudora.

As above, Eudora has hidden the ports option in version 6.0 and up. To change the outgoing mail port from:

   In this folder is a file "Esoteric Settings". Drag this file into the "Eudora Stuff" folder.

2. Launch the Eudora.
3. Drop down the Special menu, and choose Settings.
