AOL had been around since at least 1991 and was still extremely popular well into the mid 00's.

Hotmail launched in 1996 and GMail didn't get popular until at least 10 years later. (IMAP was added in 2007~ and the beta was lifted in 2009 iirc).

That's a lot of time to be relatively dominant, but they're reminiscent of zombies these days.

AOL still exists and still provides email accounts.
