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.

Fastmail: established 1999, so it's in the 90s.... Still up and running, BTW :D

Same goes for Runbox too...

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

postmark.com
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.

LuxSci started in 1999 as well.

Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.......

Also launched in 1999: Hushmail.
Pobox since 1995!

@sina.com since 1998.

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. ;)

No, imho.....

GMX strong.

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

I notice they dont force SSL .. I could use reg HTTP links on there :) -- but they have gotton rid of FREE accounts......... :(
