Silly me. I made the mistake of using an ISP email address. (***.rr.com)
When I leave RoadRunner does it stay active for a while, can I redirect it, or does it die immediately?
Facing that dilemma, I signed up at POBOX back in 1998. I do pay but I get three email addy's and they happen to be my actual name...@pobox.com. From there I just change the email forwarding to whatever email account my 'current' ISP happens to be. In that ten years I've had at least a half dozen different ISPs.
I do have a coupla dozen different email addresses, some of which I've had so long I couldn't log into to check or change info, including City-Data. They ALL are pointed to the POBOX which then forwards to my current ISP from which I download.
Additionally, the POBOX has excellent filters which catch over a hundred emails a day as SPAM. Lots of pharmaceuticals, porn, girls, cash from Nairobi, scams, etc. I don't check them any more, the service just dumps them after 30 days. This is a benefit since some places will sell your email address to SPAMmers which now go through the filter.
Anyway, that.. or the solution Tek-Freek uses. Make it easy on yourself.

I am in the midst of the same process. I have retired and closed my business. My domain will expire in December. My ISP addresses will go away when we move. I created a Gmail account.
I have created a catch all folder in Outlook and Outlook redirects all mail coming from the domain addresses to that folder. Anyone I want to continue to receive mail from gets a notification that my email has changed and is given the new one. Everyone else is ignored and they will get bounce back messages sometime in December. It's then their responsibility to deal with it, not mine.
So far it's working great. I have weeded out the "junk" and informed those I want to continue communicating with of the change. In December the folder I created will stop getting new mail and I will delete it.
If you have emails with this you want to keep you can just keep it registered and get email forwarding, Godaddy for example even offers a regular email account just with the domain registration:

Thanks, but I want it to go away. Since I've shut down the business I'm getting countless unwanted emails. I've tried unsubscribing from some, but it's ignored. Any people or companies I want to continue to receive email from, I will. The rest are bothersome and will find they are getting a dead mailbox response next month. That is the ultimate unsubscribe request.

You may have awhile.
I've canceled Comcast since May 2003 and my email works fine today.
