My email address
2 Answers
If I change service providers, (e.g. if I am <A target='_blank' href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A> which I'm not), will I lose my email address and have to start all over again, giving people a new one like <A target='_blank' href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</A> ?

I changed ISP and made it easier for myself by changing email address well in advance, retaining the old address until the day the ISP was changed, in case of any problems.
I use gmail, which is web-based, free and you can keep it for life, regardless of who your ISP is. There are plenty of others though/

With some ISPs, you can change a flat-rate, dial-up account (or even a broadband account) to a pay-per-minute dial-up account, while retaining the same e-mail address. This keeps your old e-mail address active. (You don't actually have to use the pay-per-minute dial-up facilities although most ISPs will eventually delete the account if it's not used for several months).
If you do this, you'll still be able to receive e-mail sent to your old address (either through a pop3 account or via webmail). While you won't be able to send mail from your old address (other than by logging in on the pay-per-minute account or by using a web-based facility), this will give you a period during which you will still get mail sent to your old address.
