Simple question.
If I leave Sky for a different supplier do I lose my Sk.com email address?

No, as long you are using it and it's not sitting Idle.

EDIT - The Idle period is 180 days.

What about:
2. Sky | Yahoo Mail and who can get it

  1. 2.1. To sign up to Sky | Yahoo Mail:
    1. (a) you (or, if you are an additional user, your primary user) must have an active subscription to Sky TV, Broadband, Talk and/or Sky Go ("Sky Subscription");

We will pay the price but we will not count the cost..

You would need an active Sky subscription to sign up for email in the first place, but after that the account is yours for life.

Thanks folks.
Looks like you can keep it as mentioned with the proviso of logging in every 180 days. Which is not a problem as it's the main account and is used daily.

I seem to remember way back that the same applied when I left Freeserve/Orange. Though then the email address was so long I just used it long enough to make sure I didn't lose any contacts or subscriptions.

Apparently I have no idea what I'm talking about (the wife is constantly telling me that). Very different from Virgin then, as once you leave them the email goes.

That's the trouble with virginity.
Once it's gone it's gone.
