What was your first email address?

[nakedfrog]

firstname.lastname@ccmail.odedodea.edu or something like that, in high school, '93
I'm probably forgetting a .something in there.

Yeah, I had one of those in 93-94, some number that I don't recall.

yahoo

Something through a BBS back around '95. After that I believe it was a Juno account (free internets anyone?)

 

[kranky]

Anyone ever have a bangpath-style email address?

 

[amdhunter]

pvrn3dfx@aol.com - because I had both a PowerVR based Matrox m3D, and an 6MB (!) Canopus 3Dfx card. Man those were the days.

I sometimes wish I could login to get my old address book from that account. So many people I wish I could contact from back then.

 

[HannibalX]

firstnamelastname@domain.xxx - 1993 maybe...

 

[spidey07]

myname@mentor.cs.purdue.edu
1989

Yahoo here, too. Until it got obliterated with spam. Back then most spam was for contests and family trees, now all my spam thinks I have mental problems and a small penis.

I created mine on a telnet only system run by FSU. I accessed it via dumb terminals on an old CP/M mainframe at URI. This was 1990ish.

I think it was with Netcom or Delphi in the early 1990's.

Man, Dephi rocked. Anyone remember them? They were one of the first that gave public access to the Internet. It was a text based service, but they had awesome forums, and there was this space game available where you could take over planets, gain income from them to build a bigger ship, but other people keep trying to take your planets to do the same thing. I wish I could remember the name of it. I think up to 32 people could play at a time. That game was MEGAfun.

I suppose the first one was on a BBS, possibly FirstClass, when all the BBS' started setting up gateways and you could finally email people. After that, it was probably Prodigy, followed by AOL.

 

[ivan2]

hotmail, i still use it.

 

[darkxshade]

I don't remember my first email address but rest assured it was an AOL subaccount

 

[Alone]

littlebro6@yahoo.com or something.


Made it so I could e-mail my sister.

 

[alkemyst]

grove.ufl.edu

 

[compman25]

myname@sola.com

 

[Goosemaster]

hotmail + isp accounts

 

[Pheran]

My first email address was at the University of Toledo (utoledo.edu). I can verify that I posted stuff from it as early as 1990 - that was from a VAX/VMS system. Can anyone beat 1990 for oldest email?

EDIT: Oops, nevermind, Spidey already got me. I'm not sure when I first had it though - if I look around more maybe I can get back to 89.

 

[racolvin]

Mine was a CompuServe account back in the early 80's.

 

[erub]

hotmail, '97

 

[jEnus]

Was with a local ISP called CyberHighway. I can't believe they let me have it - and it was a spam haven. Can you guess why?

demon@cyberhighway.net

 

[jemcam]

something@aol.com back in 1995.

 

[Hyperlite]

yeah something@aol in the late 90's. but i was like, 10. Haha i remember arguing with my mom about the parental settings in AOL...i think when i was like 12 or something she finally let me IM. ~2001 i setup a hotmail account which still does 1/2 my email volume.

 

[Gillbot]

hotmail, in my profile.

 

[ISAslot]

afn00XXXX@afn.org still works, ~90s
