I second that. GMail is an awesome spam filter. The Earthlink address
approval thing is crap.

If you don't like the GMail interface, configure it to forward to a
mail account of choice. If you change ISPs, just change the forward.

Doing this gives you a backup archive of all received email.

It's also a handy way to view recent incoming mail via a mobile device
with Google Mobile.
