I'm not sure if this is really relevant, but if I'm understanding the question correctly, you can access earthlink email from accounts on other servers.
For example, we just got sbcglobal dsl here as it isn't supported by earthlink in this area except via satellite and I didn't want to pay the extra costs. I am reading all my emal from my earthlink account using the sbcglobal net access. I'm also sending from my earthlink account with messages from my sbcglobal account. The only thing is that to send email using earthlink and generated from a server outside of earthlink, you need to use authentication for earthlink to accept it. Receiving mail is no problem at all though.

What you will need to establish with Earthlink is whether they allow pop3 access from other networks. Here in New Zealand, some ISPs do allow this and some don't.

I'm thinking it should since the BN functions successfully now with the pop server and the SMTP being from different places. > Mom uses a dial-up service through her local ISP. I would like to use the BN's internal modem input her SMTP server name, her service's phone number, password, and user name for her service. Now I would like to leave my email password, email username and pop server under Earthlink. > Will this work? Does anyone foresee any problems? I hope my request makes sense. There is not a local number to dial into Earthlink where I am going. There is but I'd have to pay long distance charges for it and that seems silly if I can access my email the way I'm hoping I can. > Someone said it should work okay and someone said I'd have to use Mom's pop server setting. I guess really I'm looking for feedback from others if they have tried this before. Maybe some feedback from PDI tech support would be helpful. I just want to go visit my family knowing if this will work or not so I don't have to waste my time figuring out if it will or not.
