+1 yea everyone is acting like im going to spontaneously combust if I email her.
Nobody is acting that way at all
Saying "hi" isn't a reason to go out of your way to communicate with someone, it's an opener to further contact and communication.
If you want to still talk to your ex and poke her for how open she is to further contact, go for it.
But don't act like all you want for it is to say hello, You know exactly what you are doing.
Be real
Perosnally i don't think its a great idea. She clearly has never cared enough to find you again, but you are going to do what you wish knowing you can still find her now until your curiousltiy is quenched

I think you should do it because quite frankly you can do whatever you want. Are you expecting a certain kind of response? Should be perfectly fine especially if you don't bring up your pasts and just act like strangers who happen to know each other.
So the other day I was sending someone an email, and the auto-fill system brought up my ex's email. Whoa! That was from a few years ago. I dunno if she still has that email. So I started thinking, maybe I should just send her an email just to say hi, and wish her good luck. NOT to try to rekindle anything! Just to say hi. She most likely has a BF/hubby/kid anyway We didn't part on great terms so I feel like if I send the email, it would also help me release any negativity ive had over the years against her/relationship.... This is all assuming she still has that email. I think it would be cool. What would you guys do?
You don't know this. Say "hi", I mean don't stalk the woman, but sending one email isn't going to hurt as much as not knowing what she would have said. Send it and be done, if she replies then great! if not, then great!
Why not just tell her what you told us about how her old email address popped up and then tell her it made you wonder how she's been doing, so you thought you'd say hello?
I mean, why not? As long as you feel you two don't have any unresolved issues, it should be fine.

I don't know why everyone is telling you not to. It's just an email. It's not like you're showing up at her house.
I don't get it, either.
If I heard from my ex-hub or other exes my reaction would be anything from "Hey! How's it going?" to wondering if someone died to thinking, "meh, I'll just ignore that."

Lol, she's gonna think you just got your fishing license and you're trolling.
I hear what you're saying. I do. But, you are a female. Its easier for women to write off exes as if they never existed. Why? Because its easier for them to move on. Why? Because they don't have to really try to get someone else.
This is so patently untrue.
