How does earthlink know his account was "hijacked"? He told you that in those exact words? Maybe the earthlink tech was just lazy and didn't know what else to tell him when he found his inbox deleted but insisted that he didn't do it. Could he have let his password out? Has he changed it since? If not, have him do so.

Usually if you've hijacked someones email account you'd be looking for useful information or as a means of sending out phishing emails, etc. You would want to go undetected, not delete the inbox... Is there anything in his trash folder? It's very possible that he deleted his own stuff by accident. Was it anything important? I delete everything in my inbox on a regular basis - usually upon entry.

That's friggin' hilarious. Sadly, I've worked on some puters where the browser actually looked like that. Usually on the work order: "Help! Browser running slow! I think I got a virus!" Of course, the system tray goes all the way to the start button, the start menu takes up the whole screen and then some and the desktop is full of miscellaneous icons that came from god knows where. =|
