I'm surprised no one has mentioned FidoNet - or was this thread limited to Internet email?
Not too many people still have working FidoNet email accounts. I think that the OP asked for oldest working (as in still working) email accounts.
I'd love to argue mine is still the oldest listed, 1989. I have my own reservations as I had a cbnews.att.com, attmail.com and I'm not certain that att.com worked in 1989 (sorry 1988 - I was a contractor at the Hadley Rd Hotline when I got that email ID).
Okay I still have a case for the oldest working. My attmail.com just arrived in my work mailbox! :-)
FTW!

Whilst as I said my sss.co.uk address is sadly gone, and I miss it, my posts to the VMSHARE conference are still there http://vm.marist.edu/~vmshare/browse?fn=TCPIP&ft=PROB&args=Dave+Wade#hit so I must have had some sort of net access in 1989 Dave G4UGM
