Outlook-Earthlink's Webmail interface

[Guest]

I have been using Earthlink's webmail as a spamblocker.
Mail used to go to webmail, safe mail would automatically
go to my Outlook Inbox. I also recieved a daily email
directing to the webmail site to go through my suspected
spam. But after installing Windows XP, everything remains
in the webmail system.

I noticed there are security settings in Outlook similar
to webmail. Do I need webmail? If so, how do I make
Outlook my default mail handler? Thanks. Karen

if you are happy with the EarthLink settings, use it as it stores the junk
on the server, not in outlook.

or you can disable EarthLink's and try outlook's and see which is better for
your needs.
