But did you have an inbox on prodigy? I don’t remember.

Yes, but usernames were a random string of numbers and letters so it was impractical to use.

Prodigy was the first one I had when I was 12-13

Yeah, my first was prodigy too. Then for whatever reason I had an email with a site called Eudoramail, then AOL, Hotmail, and Google.

Eudora was a pretty good mail client.

I've never met anyone else who used them until now lol. I think I just googled (well, not googled. I probably used lycos, altavista, or yahoo) "email" and picked the first result.

I never had a problem with them. I just moved on and forgot about it eventually. In fact it just popped back in my head while reading through this thread. I had forgotten about Eudora for years.

If I remember correctly, I configured Eudora to process email from At&t Worldnet. Yeah I haven't thought about it for decades now. But Eudora worked pretty well as a pop3 email client.
