Recovering Earthlink email and iCloud photos from the 1900s

I had an EarthLink webmail address, back when they let you have several under a primary account holder…..I wasn’t even the account holder. In fact, is EarthLink even still in business?

I am certain that I have original portfolio photos from early productions there, and I’m working on compiling my history to create a textbook for new Directors.

i do have my old web address. Any thoughts or similar experiences? I know it sounds terribly irresponsible but I’ve just discovered the missing information. I must have thought I was updating, and left the old files behind.

Just to make it more interesting, from the early 1990s until 2000, I worked on some of the worst, or wackiest, or just plain bizarre projects and I’d love to share the aesthetic of the old days - and how we created it!

If anyone has had a similar experience or has successfully recovered an old iCloud account with little to go on, it would be great to hear your steps to success.

Thank you for your advice, sharing your experiences, and not heckling too rough. I belong to the generation that didn’t get computer tips - I belonged to the tech trailblazers, and it was rough.
