The oldest email address I still use was created in the 90s.
@fzer0 my oldest email account was a gmail from 2016, but it got nuked by google thanks to somebody reporting my content for "illegal material"
it was just me doing a guitar cover of a song 😭

Definitly the cool dude 😎
You could revive it, i guess most young HR people don't know what a modem is anymore.
@fzer0 ha! so many 69s, 420s and genitalia in those early emails.
When reviewing resumes in the 2010s, I was shocked how many people applied for work with those same horrific emails.
@fzer0
How?
I've had
- School email. Not in school anymore.
- Work emails. Changed jobs.
- ISP emails. Changed ISP.
- Free emails, including one from the big search engine company... @altavista.net. Needed to create a new one every time whatever free mail company I was using disappeared.
GMX exists since 1997 and my account there must be one of the oldest ones 😁
I mostly use it as a trash mail account tho.
@argv_minus_one @fzer0 Parents still have an AOL address.
Mine isn’t 30, I think it’s around 25-26. Still quite close all things considered.
My account tpki!wklaebe is from 1997 iirc, but there's older ones right next to mine.
Uh, my email address was created during Compuserve dial-up access, only the domain changed when Microsoft bought Compuserve in the early 1990s…
When I was that age, email addresses came from your Internet service provider. The ones I had are long gone, and so are the providers.
They will be missed.
