Aol basic version email address

A blast from the past!

The basic version of AOL (America Online) email addresses typically followed this format:

[email protected]

Where username was a unique identifier chosen by the user when signing up for an AOL account.

For example:

Note that AOL also offered additional features and services, such as screen names, which were often used in conjunction with the email address. Screen names were a unique identifier that users could choose to represent themselves online, and they were often used to log in to AOL's online services.

In 2015, AOL was acquired by Verizon, and in 2017, Verizon announced that it would be shutting down AOL's email service. As a result, AOL email addresses are no longer active, and users are encouraged to migrate to other email providers.
