Default Moving house - email and MAC codes??

So one of my colleagues will br working from home and needs to change is broadband to the company provider. I've asked him if he can get the MAC codes from the current owners.

However, I'm not sure what to do with the email. His email address will change but how do I ensure that emails from his current account will get to the new account.

Is there a means of forwarding emails to the new email address?

If he has an @oldisp.com email address then he can't. That is why people should not use their ISPs email as it ties you to them to a certain extent.

he may still be able to get e-mail from his old ISP via their website rather than through Outlook Express etc

It depends how on the ball they are, I can still get my email from an ISP from 15 years ago and my webpage is still up from them as well (which is rather embarassing and I should get them to delete it!).

On the other hand, Zen shut my account and deleted all email references (i.e. so anything sent bounced) within the hour I switched ISP.
