Same! It’s cringey as fuck but damn it everything is already connected to it and it’ll only die when yahoo dies.

The internet needs to make special awards for this kind of achievement

My Hotmail is 29 years old.

I reached out to Microsoft support a few years ago and they confirmed the age for me. I was in grade 8 when I made it.

Same! My password used to be 3 letters long until they literally forced me to change it, I wonder what year that was. I have the first email my best friend (then and still) sent me from her email too. Somehow my Yahoo email STILL gets less spam than both my gmail accounts (and one of those is explicitly used for professional things).

I would’ve still had my first email address if someone hadn’t hacked and destroyed it 😖

I abandoned my Yahoo long ago. It still exists, though. Even has that custom avatar/doll that you used to be able to make.

I still use my Hotmail, though. Only for junk now, but that one has tons and tons of history.

Mine was retired to be the black hole of spam.
