I’m 25 and have had my AOL email since before I was born, set up by my parents. In the late 90’s and early 00’s every now and then they would send a few photos to it perhaps with an accompanying story of anything that they’d want me to remember. I then used it as my main email and have continued to till this day.

During a job interview today I was told I was great fit but they weren’t sure about my email address!

Apparently they can tell a lot about a person just from the fact they have an AOL email address in 2023.

Has anyone else had something similar, is it actually a big deal?

    I still use a hotmail address i made some time in the mid 90s, I usually just use it as a backup, junk (like freebies) and to people I don’t know. It’s not connected with any social accounts. I think it’s kinda neat I still have access to such an old email.
