Since I've never used AOL mail, so it can't be of much help. But one thing that can be a lesson for you and me is not to keep all valuable information
in one place, we do have to have a back up regarding where valuable information is stored. So one day there is a problem with the computer or mail
that we usually use, then we have alternative storage elsewhere.

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

"had most everything in the old AOL email"

What do you mean by this?  Do you mean that you had opened bitcoin and copied the private keys and then placed them into your aol email?  What OS were you running in 2009 and 2010 while mining?  Linux, windows, Mac?

Just trying to figure out the best way to help, but the emphasis on looking at old email instead of the wallet.dat files is confusing.

I have access to some of my old computers, hopefully the right ones. To be honest it's a crap shoot, but, I gotta try. I do not know if the email folders were saved on my HD.... like I said, when I login to mail.aol.com, it shows only email from 2015 til current. I lost literally 15 years of emails/files/folders.

A couple of years ago, I tried logging on to aol via AOL Desktop program, and it is no longer working/functional. They discontinued it.

The only steps I took in 2017 to recover the info was just trying to log on to my old email accounts, and did quick scans looking for certain keywords, such as bitcoin, bitcoin core, bitcoin-qt, wallet, et. cetera.

why the emphasis on email? if you physically have the computers you believe the wallet files are on, you should be searching those for your wallet.dat file.

are you sure we're talking about a local bitcoin wallet (on your PC) and not an account with a third party website?

I hope that the OP can receive the information you provided, if indeed it is a matter of a wallet that has indeed forgotten the computer and in fact, if there is still a computer, it can be traced properly. but it looks like the OP only emphasizes on the email address nothing has been done to find the wallet.dat file which may still be stored properly and not overwritten by another wallet.dat file or could catch a virus.

but it is also true whether this is only a matter of a wallet that is not on the computer or as your explanation is indeed related to a third party. if with a third party maybe there is no other way to fix it and be able to find out the email address.

We hope of course it can be resolved well and of course this is quite a lot of assets, but why does the OP only realize that this year is not 2013 or 2017 which may be relatively early.

It is kinda frustrating for the part of those people who have mined Bitcoins way back then having a hard time to regain access on those after a long time maybe due to busy schedule or they have already made forgotten because of many happenings that occur for the past years and now they are wanting to recover those stocked Bitcoins all due because they will be the ones to get benefited once they have been able to recover those Bitcoins because of the current value that it have compared to the value it have when it was first mined or purchased. Sadly some of those lost Bitcoins may or may not be recover at all due to lots of reasons like having no access on the computer already or even on the email and the wallet he have used. But I do still hope like OP,  they can still be able to regain access on their wallets and recover their Bitcoin.
