Do people still have aol email addresses

The nostalgia! Yes, many people still have AOL (America Online) email addresses, although the number has significantly decreased since AOL's peak in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

In 2015, AOL announced that it would be discontinuing its dial-up internet service and transitioning its users to a new service called AOL Desktop Gold. As part of this transition, AOL also offered its users the option to keep their existing AOL email addresses or switch to a new @aol.com address.

According to a 2020 report by the Pew Research Center, about 1% of American adults (around 2.5 million people) still use AOL email addresses. This is a significant decline from the early 2000s, when AOL email addresses were estimated to be used by around 30% of American adults.

Despite the decline, AOL email addresses are still widely recognized and used by many people, particularly those who have been using the service for a long time. In fact, some people may still use their AOL email addresses for nostalgic reasons or because they have accumulated a large number of contacts and email messages over the years.

It's worth noting that AOL has continued to evolve and offer new services, including AOL Mail, which is a web-based email service that allows users to access their email from any device with an internet connection. However, the traditional AOL email addresses (e.g., @aol.com) are still widely used and recognized.
