If you’re like many people, you may have retired your AOL email account years ago. But if you need to access your old messages, there’s a way. First, sign in to your AOL account using your original username and password. If you don’t have those details, click the “Forgot Your Password?” link on the login screen. Once you’re logged in, click the “My Account” link on the top menu bar. Under “Mail,” select “Old Messages.” You’ll see all of your old messages in a chronological order. To view a message, simply click on it. You can also search for specific messages by keyword or subject matter. ..
