In fairness to them, there isn't a way to keep your forwarding address even if you pay, or at least nothing advertised.

Yes, I get that they are going to have to remove all forwarding--even for people who have mailboxes--due to the DMARC requirements

But at least by offering mailboxes to alumni those alumni would not lose access to that email address completely, which could be pretty bad if you've been relying on it for decades

I'd pay ... even if just for a year so I can have more time to migrate everything.
