My first email was [email protected]. When aol became insufferable and a challenger appeared, I made [email protected].

Gmail lets you add "."s anywhere and it'll still work, so all my spammy or whatever things I sign up for are [email protected] or some random variation. Makes it easy to delete all the junk.

Umm, have a classy username for your official e-mail, and use the teenage one for everything else.

until End

End? Not 'the' end or 'an end'?

Kinda bummed no one here is representing EarthLink gang. One of my professors used that email and it was clearly made in like ‘92

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

Not to be that guy, but ackshually EarthLink was founded in 1994 and, for all I know, may or may not have offered email yet at that point.

Also, AOL gang here, we can't be friends.

Well, I have 7 Email-ID. I don't know why.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Nope, it's in 13 leaks (haveibeenpwned) and full of spam. Though the provider can use it to train their spam filters.

Good news — no pwnage found!

Interesting.
I made that email address when I was 8.
Though I've been always allergic to putting my main e-mail anywhere. Currently I have 14 active e-mail addresses due to that.

Those are rookie numbers, I have 45 😎

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Woah how?? What are most of them from?

Reminder that your google account has a name which is not just your email address. If you don't use google's other services besides gmail and youtube, you probably don't remember what it is. And you probably put in something stupid if not completely offensive. If you suddenly have to use google docs or something, people will see it.

I ditched my first email for [email protected] right out of high school.

It was cringe enough that even 18 year old me recognized it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I had two email addresses throughout all of highschool. The one I gave to adults if they asked, firstname-lastname@, and the one I used to sign into msn and give to all my friends... I forget the exact address but it was definitely along the lines of "hotpants-sexi.kitty.87@"

The former is still my primary email. The other one is sitting abandoned since I was 17 and smart enough to realise what a stupid idea it was, but I never deleted it and I can't even remember it.

Well I got incredibly lucky so I have a [email protected] address. Why would I ever give that up? 🥰

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Honestly it's so nice. I ended up buying lastname.tld so now I will always have [email protected] even if I change provider because I can just point the domain to whatever provider I like.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

I envy all of you who have uncommon last names.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

unfortunately just firstname-lastname.tld for me but still a very elegant solution

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

It's the one time where I am glad to have a slightly unusual name.

Guys, this is just a bot. It wants you to share your email addresses so it can sign you up for spam newsletters...
