My @msn.com (my first) is still alive. Although I also link Microsoft account to GMail.

My current email is same as my first, but @gmail.com.

I also have @ymail.com, but it is practically dead.

I am 29. First email was probably 7-8.

Does your own domain name count?

I don't share the sentiment, but based on the above logic... Absolutely.

TBH I think there's an certain creepiness in general society associated with understanding and using tech. It's not a good thing, but I think it's a thing.

I guess being over thirty means that having a non-Gmail primary email address doesn't automatically make me a serial killer. Hell, my email address is rolling up on being 30yo (seriously: I registered my domain back on September 27th,1995).

The only reason I'm able to have such an old email address and not have an inbox uselessly-full of spam is that my anti-spam setup is far more aggressive than Google's.
