How to Edit the Dictionary in an EarthLink Mailbox
The Internet service provider EarthLink furnishes its subscribers with a Web-based email account. EarthLink email accounts include essential productivity tools to make communicating through email as easy as possible. One of these tools is a built-in dictionary that spell-checks your emails as you type. If you want to stop your EarthLink email from spell-checking non-standard words like surnames or acronyms, edit the dictionary to add the non-standard words to it.
