The oldest message in my mailbox was a list of all my classmates' email addresses from when we made our Hotmail accounts back in 1998 as part of an IT course.

So I said hi.

All but three of them bounced, and the rest didn't answer 🥲

Tbf my first email has been so utterly destroyed by spam that there's a big chance I missed an old contact sending me something.

Plus since they all got bought out by Microsoft and converted into Outlook, there's an even better chance that the useless spam filter decided to throw only an actual message into the spam folder, which conveniently gets deleted after 30 days, despite only ever having like 20 emails tops.

Can't even remember the old hotmail UI anymore ;/
