Gmail?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">EarthLink enforces a limit on its storage; when it&#8217;s full, new messages will not be received.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Moreover, an inactive EarthLink email account receives no messages after 90 days of inactivity.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Also, the POP3 server address varies by EarthLink domain, so setting up an email client for multiple legacy addresses requires finding different settings for each one.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In addition, running POP and IMAP against the same EarthLink address is risky, because messages may not be saved correctly.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Gmail offers 15 GB of free storage for emails, documents, and other items. However, users may expand their storage up to 5 TB with their Business plans.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Before messages hit your inbox, Gmail uses AI filters to block spam, phishing, and malware.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Gmail advanced search helps retrieve specific messages, while the mobile application has push notifications and built-in voice dictation.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">In addition, email addresses may be configured with a custom domain using Google Workspace, allowing the replacement of the default \u201c@earthlink.net\u201d with \u201c@example.com\u201d or any other desired address.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Gmail administrators also manage user permissions, passwords, and security protocols within the same console, which enables the implementation of security measures such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Finally, the application offers collaboration tools, including Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet, and others, with an uptime guarantee of 99.9% for Business edition users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prepare_Before_You_Migrate_EarthLink_Emails_to_Gmail\"><\/span>Prepare Before You Migrate EarthLink Emails to Gmail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Check storage capacity and mailbox size before migration. More than 15GB requires an additional plan.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Verify the EarthLink connection by confirming your access through email and password.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Use only 1 protocol; IMAP is recommended.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">You must know that the IMAP scope that it doesn&#8217;t carry contacts, calendars, tasks, or notes, so export those separately.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Finally, retain an active EarthLink account until the migration is verified and complete.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>EarthLink Server Settings:<\/p>\n<table border=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Setting<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><strong>Value<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>IMAP server\/port<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>imap.earthlink.net \/ 993 (SSL\/TLS)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>POP3 server\/port<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>pop.earthlink.net \/ 995 (SSL\/TLS)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>SMTP server\/port<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>smtpauth.earthlink.net \/ 587 (STARTTLS)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Username<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>Full EarthLink email address<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manual_Method_to_Transfer_EarthLink_Email_to_Gmail\"><\/span>Manual Method to Transfer EarthLink Email to Gmail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In this section of our blog, we will cover the manual methods for the migration with different methods. Each method follows different steps and comes with its own limitations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Copy_Folders_Through_an_IMAP_Email_Client_Recommended_Manual_Option\"><\/span>Method 1: Copy Folders Through an IMAP Email Client (Recommended Manual Option)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is the only manual method that transfers an existing archive at no cost. An IMAP-based client can hold mailboxes at once. Consequently, you can drag and drop messages between the two accounts folder by folder.<\/p>\n<p>Steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Add your <strong>EarthLink<\/strong> account to the client using <strong>imap.earthlink.net<\/strong> on port 993 (SSL\/TLS), as listed in<a href=\"https:\/\/help.earthlink.net\/portal\/en\/kb\/articles\/email-server-settings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> <strong>EarthLink&#8217;s server settings<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Then add your <strong>Gmail<\/strong> account.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Next, <strong>create matching folders<\/strong> under the Gmail account.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Subsequently, <strong>select the messages<\/strong> in each EarthLink folder and<strong> copy<\/strong> them to the corresponding Gmail folder.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Finally, keep the client running until the copy completes, then compare folder and message counts in both accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h5 class=\"main_heading\">Limitations:<\/h5>\n<p>These are some limitations you may face when you try to to transfer EarthLink Email to Gmail:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Large mailboxes transfer slowly, requiring constant supervision.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">All folders have to be recreated manually in Gmail.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">No batch processing.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Manual copying offers no date, sender, or duplicate filters, and it generates no migration report.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">IMAP transfers emails and attachments but not contacts, calendars, tasks, or notes.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The POP protocol is not appropriate in this case since, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/help.earthlink.net\/portal\/en\/kb\/articles\/earthlink-email-faq-update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EarthLink\u2019s help desk<\/a>, POP does not sync subfolders.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_2_Automatic_Forwarding_New_Emails_Only\"><\/span>Method 2: Automatic Forwarding (New Emails Only)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Automatic forwarding takes incoming EarthLink messages and redirects them to Gmail as they come in. It differs from a mailbox migration in that it does not transfer the messages that have already been stored. However, Google recommends it as a POP fetching alternative. Thus, it is a provisional measure that allows new letters to flow to one\u2019s Gmail account while the old one is being emptied.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"main_heading\">Steps to Transfer EarthLink Email to Gmail:<\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Sign in<\/strong> to EarthLink Webmail.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Open Preferences and look for a <strong>mail forwarding <\/strong>option.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Enter your <strong>Gmail address<\/strong> and save.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Finally, just test it and confirm in Gmail.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h5 class=\"main_heading\">Limitations:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Forwarding is applied to new messages that arrive after the rule is created. Consequently, it cannot move an existing archive or its subfolders.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Moreover, forwarding will work. If its included in your EarthLink plan.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Lastly, EarthLink halts delivery of new messages once an account goes <a href=\"https:\/\/help.earthlink.net\/portal\/en\/kb\/articles\/inactive-email-account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">90 days without a sign-in<\/a>. Therefore, keep the account active for as long as forwarding is needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"main_heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Professional_Method_to_Transfer_EarthLink_Email_to_Gmail\"><\/span><strong>Professional Method to Transfer EarthLink Email to Gmail<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The manual methods are not efficient enough when dealing with large amounts of messages contained in dozens of folders.
