This editor still has his AOL email address, although it's reserved for times when he knows he's never going to check for a reply. Security is actually pretty tight on those rare occasions when one does want to get in and check the inbox. If you ever had an AOL address back in the '90s, chances are it's still active, and you don't even know it.
Apparently, the great one, Mark Levin actually still uses his AOL email on a daily basis, and on Tuesday found himself locked out.
Folks, I have spent literally the entire day trying to get someone at AOL to unlock my email. For the last eight hours, I have been told that the issue has been escalated to supervisors who would contact me. I haven't heard a thing. You would think that, since I'm one of the last human beings on the face of the Earth still using AOL, they would take care of this. You'd be wrong. So, once this gets resolved, hopefully before the next presidential election, I'm dropping them. (I kept them this long out of convenience, but now I have no reason to keep them.) I'll see you on the radio at 6 p.m., at which time I will address this further.

We missed the show, so we don't know if tech support ever got Levin's email back up and running. He did get plenty of replies, though.
@marklevinshow They are calling this the most boomer post of all time.

@marklevinshow Smh. Had very similar experience with Eli Whitney when my cotton gin stopped working.

@marklevinshow It could be a problem with your browser. When was the last time you updated Netscape?

@marklevinshow To be fair, AOL probably had to call its last remaining employee at home. He’s been retired since 2007.

Now we're kind of curious to hear the rest of the story. Did AOL tech support ever get back to him?
