? ?How do I change the way an Android app lets me read my email? There is only one for Earthlink's web mail. I only download what I haven't deleted, when the 300 MB inbox is close to full. Other times I have to use another computer to access it, like while in a hurricane shelter. Those computers wiped out anything you download, when you log out. Other times, I use the Android app on a KODI TV set top box, which doesn't let me download any messages.
I have an archive of downloaded email going back over 20 years, but I can't always read email on my dedicated Email computer. I also have saved Usenet messages going back 21 years.
FWIW, I have an account at .? I have gmail import all my incoming email at such that it shows up in my gmail inbox.? I see that there are instructions for gmail to suck down email from Earthlink too...? I usually access gmail through a web browser, but use the app on the iphone occasionally.? Obviously, there is an Android app.? The email stays in googles cloud.? I'm not concerned about the security, email isn't a secure medium anyway.
As for threading, gmail does it just fine as long as the headers are there.? It's relatively rare that threads get broken up.? They also have semi-reasonable filtering, so I can sort lists into their own folders (though they call it labelling, the effect is the same though you can put more than one label on a given email).
There's nothing stopping one getting a gmail account, never giving out the address and using it to import from other accounts.? They give me the option of sending from my drizzle account as necessary.? In fact, should I need to access my drizzle account directly, I'm going to have to call them as I've forgotten the password.
