Old email providers (90s) that still active

Let's add to this list

1. Excite.com - up and running
2. Lycos.com - up and running
3. usa.net (netaddress.com) - new registrations not available
4. Netscape.net - new registrations not available, but, probably, exists for some users as alias to @aim.com. I can't prove it.
5. aol.com - up and running
6. Microsoft/hotmail.com - up and running
7. Microsoft/msn.com - new registrations not available
8. Microsoft/live.com (mid 2000s) - new registrations not available
9. Yahoo.com - up and running
10. Juno.com - up and running (but requests home address, phone and DOB during registration)
11. Netzero.com - up and running, but you need to subscribe to their dial-up service.

Is there any purpose in listing "old" email services?

i think was started in the late 90s or early 2000s
all i remember about it was it was short lived. I got an account there based off the good review I read in some computer magazine. but they went out of business.

AOL is still around. Unfortunately, it just won't die.

A couple more

My old Mochamail address is still active...

It looks like Ureach is still in operation as well...

And although it's long gone, does anyone else remember Valise.com? It was my first - and everyone knows you always carry a small torch for your first.

Atmail, mail.ru, Redriffmail and Yandex were all established in the 90s and are still going.
