You could easily oblige forwarding. You cannot shut someone out and then not allow them a) a backup of all data noe unavailable and b) and auto forward to an email of their choice.

Alas, email forwarding is fairly broken since DKIM/DMARC/SPF/SRS came into the picture.

As for not allowing people to save their data before shutting down, I agreee. That's a consumer rights issue though, and not a technical one.

Forwarding won't be enough if you need to reply from the same email address.
