I hope this is not considered too, well, off-topic, but if nothing else doing this is in service of the Mustachian goal of ending a service that I pay for but no longer need!
I migrated my primary email to gmail years ago, but I still have an Earthlink email account - this was my primary for many years, and quite some years ago, when I still used it, I had my them move my mom's address over to my account from my dad's (this might have been done when he died - I don't remember) Last fall I asked my mom to start migrating over to another email account so I could close this - there really is no reason to pay for it every month. She's done that, but what both of us are now left with is a lot of archived email on the web that we would like to migrate to...somewhere else. Probably our primary email accounts. Then I can close the account and save a small but useful amount of money.
What is the best and/or easiest way to do this?
