hi cybers, waaaay OT..

my trusty apple desktop [this oldfart stubbornly never owned a cell or smart phone] uses earthlink's plain vanila email server. installation years ago was kind of shakey, imo could use a configuration review/sanity check, hopefully without busting it.

wondering, as an upside of living in cupertino, how might this fool find/hire an affordable "kid" to come in the front door and set me straight, email wise, or other helpful advice?
[nope, not a fan of applecare service]

For the record, I wasn't offering to be the guy.
My tech support days are decades ago.

Isn't there a site called FIVER where you post odd jobs and people looking can respond to?

Next Door is full of quacks.

I'd suggest calling the public library, a senior center or the computer science department at a JC. You should get referrals
