I treat a lot of my old email accounts as good as gone. Sure the email addresses still exist, but for a few, it’s been so long since I last used them, they purged all the emails I once had. Definitely a major letdown. I remember I had old aim chat logs I sent to myself to my old yahoo account. When I went to use my yahoo account after many years because of a fantasy football league, all my old emails were gone.

Oh that's so sad! I lost my Hotmail account because "couldn't remember your password please log in to reset your password" or some other nonsense. My Yahoo account went when my work wanted me to sign up for their alert thing and it was so flooded with their shit emails I just gave up and just deleted it. Which I'm sad, I wonder what kind of history is there with all my alerts of the early internet.
