Can I have a lifetime email address? - Bobbb - 04-16-2014 01:18 AM
If I lose an email address I had which is a really good one, could someone get that address in a couple of months time?

Well it matters
, probably no and here is why,#1 if you get email from a small company they could go out of business
#2 if you get email from a large company they might get bought and have the service discountinued or something else along those lines.
What I am saying here is that almost any email service is not dependable to where you can be sure the company will exist when you die, so with luck a email service could last your lifetime but you can never count on it

It's "somewhat" possible, but not all that likely. It just depends on the provider and how they conduct business.

I don't thinks so but you could find out, Try starting it again yourself or contact the Company that provided you with the E-Mail Address, I'm confident it you get a Gmail account it's not going be discontinued anytime soon (At least for Decades) and same goes for Yahoo although they are in the News a lot lately for being hacked and for crashing.

How would you lose an email address? Yes, you can keep an email address forever as long as you pay the bill.
