I'm not sure what the issue is that you're talking about. I'm not ragging on you.... I'm just confused.  I use Suddenlink and have a Suddenlink email address. However, I download all my email to Outlook on my PC and manage it there. If you use Suddenlink as your ISP, and use an email service like Gmail, the amount of data you download for email is the same no matter which email service you use. So why is storage an issue? Is the concern for people that leave their email on their email service? I know several people that do so they can access all of their email via their PC, smart phone, or tablet.Â
@Retired_Engineer: I was referring to centurylink's contention that they needed to delete emails after 90 days to free up space. Â Storage space is mega cheap. Â Just doesn't compute. Â Even RAID drives are cheap now. Â
I don't download my emails to local drives (except sensitive ones that can't be in the "cloud" and I would never use normal email systems for that anyway). Â I don't want to have to worry about migrating PST files and such to new machines. Â I get new laptops and stuff all the time, so downloading emails (and then having to transfer them to new devices) is just one more hassle I don't want to deal with.So, I just use the web based email apps for the most part. Â A 90 day limit would be totally unacceptable to me. heck I have emails going back 12 years on one account. 4951
