Just telling people that the address has changed. If it has happened once, i
suspect it could easily happen again. This doesn't appear to be the case for
most people. Probably being too pessimistic (as usual) :-)

Right, nothing to do with each other. I have an existing spam free (filered)
email address that is accessible via IMAP. My plan was to stop using a
docomo.ne.jp address and use one of the others where i have working spam controls.

Yes and no, i already use the other address. But if the new docomo address
gets spammed i'm back to where i started and have no choice but to change yet
again.
