Solve : finding old email accoutns?

Answer»

Hello everyone, my name is jerry I want to first say I am happy to be new to this forum.

I have a urgent MATTER that I need help with. I am wanting to find out all the email accounts I have under all the companies like yahoo, Hotmail, msn, gmail, aol and others. I don't want them recovered or anything I just want to know all of the usernames and email addresses I have under my name and I will even give all the info anyone needs to help me find these out. the addresses, phone numbers, similiarites that I think they could be close too. the only thing I wont give out is my ssn. I was going to pay someone to do this but the way I see it is I should be able to do this for free. if someone knows how to do this and would be willing to do it for me I would gladly appreciate it because all I am wanting done is to find all the old emails I have had and signed up under since I first started getting on a computer which was 1999 or 2000.

I hope someone can help.
I'd contact the different sites individually contacting their customer support and then give them your info that they request. For the older accounts they may be completely gone as for Yahoo for example wipes the slate clean on abandoned accounts as garbage control of their servers to get rid of unnecessary allocated resources.

Additionally you might find that ownership of certain businesses had come and gone or assumed under new businesses as mergers etc. I ran into an issue years ago with software I bought for $150 that was registered to an Adelphia e-mail address since my ISP was Adelphia. Adelphia turned into Comcast and there was a period of time to transfer over your e-mail to Comcast which i did. What I didnt expect was that 3 years later I would need to prove ownership of a license for software by e-mail CONFIRMATION and PROVING I was owner of credit card to buy the software and I had a PDF of the actual order with order number wasnt good enough. I was lucky and found this software on a old 80 GB external hard drive and the activation key in the PDF of my e-mail from 2006 still worked. Otherwise I would have had to buy a new copy of the software I was told.Your only option is to contact the individual providers. I wouldn't get to hopeful, there will likely be several users with your name so they won't be able to uniquely identify you and even if they can there are probably data protection policies in place preventing them from disclosing the information to you.With some of these email accounts, the email address you created is the username, I believe. Surely, you know the email address you had with some of these email services. So, I suggest trying the Forgot Password procedure that is typically available on the website.
