Eudora on Windows
- After login, you have assigned your own workspace, actually a network drive connected to a remote Unix machine called argon.ch.ic.ac.uk.

respectively. In this composite, IC is the overall domain for Imperial College, rp04 is your login ID (and takes the form of your initials,
with a number if you are not the first person to use this combination) and your email alias, which takes the form firstname.surname. Since
there is often a lot of confusion between your login ID and your email alias, its worth emphasizing the obvious, ie your login (and password)

as the email server, and JUST your login ID as your Username.
