Help finding who is hosting my email

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to: find our where this email is hosted, and delete this email account. We don't know where this email reside, where the server are. The owner told me that he opened this email in the 90ties when AT&T was called worldnet.  He has never used this email for the past 30 years but last week someone cracked his password and started sending him crazy emails. This email Kevinkeats@worldnet.att.net forwards the emails to his regular account. This is why we want to delete it because that email has no purpose anymore.

Who can help me to find where this email reside please : kevinkeats@worldnet.att.net. I called AT&T 2 times they don't find that email in their server. Neither network solution or godaddy. but that email is active somewhere.

I also need a webmail address so i can at least reset the password then delete that account.

thank you

Thank you everyone. As you mentioned it was time consuming but I was able to find someone old enough to remeber about prodigy and she was able to find and delete the account. I couldn’t have done it without your help. Thank you so much .

Email Servers

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
