It does, but I cannot connect my work mail system to Earthlink and sometimes I see something that I feel needs to be responded to right away. > I know yahoo does not allow that on free accounts; > i.e. they do not provide pop or imap server for your > free account. > But google does.

I've had an Earthlink account for a LONG time and don't want to mess with moving stuff to it.

I'll have to check if my employer is blocking them as well.
