Is it worth keeping the old address for the few legitimate emails it receives? I have been using email since it existed and I have used and retired many email accounts over the years. What I do is to monitor the old account for awhile, maybe a month or two, and watch for any legit emails that I want to notify about my email change. That catches most emails. However, you inevitably will find someone tries to reach you long after you have abandoned an old email address. Frankly, I think the worry about losing touch with someone is not a big one. With things like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, websites, and Google it is generally pretty easy to find someone's new email address if you really want to. If you want to be found, just keep up a Facebook and LinkedIn page and people will find you.
