Default How old is your e-mail address?

I have one that goes back to 2000, still in use. I'm sure that there must be older ones than that around.....

Using a Windows 95 laptop at the time, I think my first email address (still going) originates from 1998.

My Yahoo address dates back to 1999 when I had a Mail box of less than 4Mbs

And in those days that was what they'd call generous 10 to15 MBs was a Premium service intended for commercial users
In 2009 between the same Yahoo account ,1 of my AOL screen names ,and Gmail ,I'd estimate at least 10 GBs

I think one of my Hotmail accounts is from about 96/97. Also have a handful of own-domain accounts that date back to about 99/00.

Had a Virgin account from 96/97 too, but that's now lapsed. Earliest account was a Delphi one, earlier in the 90s. Oh, and an Easynet one from 95-ish, also lapsed.
