I'm not aware of any other scenario, but losing a domain is easier than you may think.

For instance, my main email address is on a domain that is now owned by my company (it wasn't originally). If I ever sell the company, I lose access to the domain as well. My wife's email address is on that domain too.

Right. Yeah I know it's not hard to lose posession of a domain. I probably misinterpreted your comment when I thought you meant losing a specific email address but not the domain as a whole.

I never mix work and private. My email addresses on my company's domain are for work-related things only. If I ever sell or close the company, it doesn't matter. I own a separate domain for personal email.

That's definitely a good idea. My company sort of emerged from a personal activity and things got mixed up. If I could do it again I would handle it differently, but you know, life's twists and turns... :-)
