Switching ISPs, changing jobs, or leaving school? If so, you probably are going to be using a different e-mail address soon. If so, make sure you tell people with whom you converse with that you address is changing! E-mail addresses will not get automatically forwarded over like postal mail does with the US Postal Service. Therefore, if you talk with someone or subscribe to a mailing list with your old address, once you change addresses, all new mail from said individuals/organization would never reach you unless you tell them about your address change.
