But don't delete it. The address can be hijacked.

Do they let someone else sign up for the address if you delete it? This is honestly the only reason I haven’t deleted my Gmail accounts. Barely get anything but old spam there now.

I would actually prefer to move off all the important stuff and let it otherwise fill with garbage.
