If you can use either POP or IMAP to access your emails on earthlink, try accessing them through a Gmail account and allow Gmail's spam filters to do their magic Just make sure though to setup Gmail to "leave all messages" on earthlink. In fact if you let Gmail loose for an 1 hour or so, you'll soon have a complete backup of your earthlink email inbox as a bonus.
