What happened to all my old aol mail

The nostalgia of AOL mail!

When AOL (America Online) shut down its email service in 2017, many users were left wondering what happened to their old emails. Here's what you need to know:

AOL's email migration

In 2015, AOL announced that it would be discontinuing its email service and migrating its users to Yahoo Mail. This move was part of a larger effort to integrate AOL's services with those of Yahoo, which was acquired by Verizon in 2017.

What happened to your old AOL emails

When AOL shut down its email service, all existing AOL email accounts were automatically migrated to Yahoo Mail. This means that your old AOL emails were transferred to your new Yahoo Mail account.

Accessing your old AOL emails

To access your old AOL emails, you can log in to your Yahoo Mail account using your AOL email address and password. You can then view and manage your old emails, as well as send and receive new emails.
