Probably my 2004 Gmail account, but that’s pushing the definition of “still use somewhat frequently”. I do still have my email forwarded to my current address, but most senders have been updated with my current address.

I lost control of my Hotmail, AIM, ICQ accounts years ago.

I still have my ICQ. That's one number burned into my brain.

Didn’t ICQ recently shut the service down? Thought I saw a headline along those lines recently.

Did they? I only log in like every six months or so. :(

Edit: yep. June 24, 2024. RIP 8833052

Oh... RIP 170538332 (I forgot the password for my first one and had to create a second one, and for some reason that's the number that stuck with me)

Somehow I can never seem to forget my ICQ number. 28493804. I have no idea why that's always in my brain, but it is.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Uh-oh! Mine was long forgotten.

[-] beefbaby182@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I think my AIM account is still technically active even though they shut it down. Don't know what they did with all the accounts.
