I was amazed the other day to discover my favorite board game publisher, Rio Grande Games, has the email address (posted in their games as of 2017) of riogames@aol.com, which really surprised me. I wonder if they're still making money off of AOL email accounts?

They sell ads on it. I think they’ll keep the email addresses and use the yahoo mail back end.

Just this week I've emailed with some contractors for some repairs at my house. Two of the three I received emails from came from an @aol.com email address.

Verizon bought AOL in 2015 [0] and has recently started discontinuing their ISP provided @verizon.net email addresses and servers[1] in favor of @aol.com addresses. 0: https://www.wsj.com/articles/verizon-to-buy-aol-for-4-4-billion-1431428458 https://www.wsj.com/articles/verizon-to-buy-aol-for-4-4-bill... 1: https://help.aol.com/products/aol-mail-verizon https://help.aol.com/products/aol-mail-verizon

@aol.com is popular with the "hipster" / "techbro" crowd here.
