    Completely down to policy of Toucan as to whether it's possible. Some ISPs charge you annually to keep an email address with them, some require to to go back to old dial up and do that every so often to keep it and some will just close down the account completely. You're far better off getting an email address independant of your ISP to prevent these kinds of problems, either something like a gmail address for free or pay for your own domain which looks more professional for about £3 per year and have that forward to any address you want.
