    Question Your oldest Email account?

    When was it registered? and by who?

    Mine was in 1999 which I registered it via hotmail, it gets an average spam of 200 emails a week so I kinda left it be and started using yahoo/gmail..

    Peace,

    I think it's one I have at Canada.com since 2000. Never look at it no more since it's spammed like crazy.

    My oldest one was registered with Yahoo back in (I think) either 1998 or 1999.

    The oldest one that I'm still using - under my own domain. That has been my personal email address since May 2000.

    It gets a fair bit of spam, but SpamAssassin and other filtering gets 99% of it.

    Lots of people know it, so it would be almost impossible to change it

    I had one through my elementary school's community access network circa 1994. I don't have it anymore, obviously. My personal domain I've owned for about four years now (June 2001).

    My oldest working address just turned 9 years old. Email address at the company I work for.
    If you have to operate your company behind the scenes or under a fake name, maybe it's time to leave the industry and start something fresh.

    1999? Whoa, that's relatively recent.

    Ditto. My first email was an @aol.com when AOL v2.0 was out which was mid-1990s sometime so same period.

    Of course, it's been long gone since.

    Hotmail account registered in 1996, I still use it But I do get a crapload of spam on there.

    I think I got my first one at yahoo back in '99.
    I don't use it any more though, too much spam.

    The first email account I ever had would have to be my Talk21 account I got back when I was still living in England; not sure, but I think that was something like eight years ago. I no longer use it anymore though, and the one I now use – and plan to use for a long while yet – is only about four or so years old.

    i signed upto rocketmail in about 99, which then got bought out by yahoo.. just checked, the first mail ive got in there is July 98, although it could be earlier as they dont seem to order by year too well! (the 98 mail was *after* the 99 one)

    I can't remember what is the name of my first email address, but I can remember I got one as soon as my home was hooked up to the Internet, which was 1998. Was 12 then...

    so im guessing most people are talking the first account they had - how many of these are still active?

    we originally had one of those silly compuserve ones where your mail address was something like 841431112@compuserve.com, although i was using email at school in 95

  20. My MSN account which I made when I was seven and still use today.

    The oldest that I still use, in a very limited way, is a hotmail account when you could still choose a six character username, circa 1997. I had ISP emails prior to that though. Because I changed them so often way back then, it was a good idea to have a web account

    My hotmail account back in '97. I use it regularly to sign up for websites that I don't trust with my "good" email addresses. The odd thing is, it hardly gets spammed at all. I get maybe 2-3 spam emails a week to it.

    1997.

    Back then, in India, Shell Account was introduced, and it was my first email account, using Pine mail system.

    Gosh! Couldnot even surf porn decently in Lynx browser. Download every link to local server and then again ftp back to own computer.
