Address recycling / reuse
Proposed
I was too hasty with the registration and only noticed afterwards that you guys recycle e-mail addresses.
I find this bizarre and a total non-starter, but before nope-ing out of here I figured I may as well ask whether you're already planning to stop doing this and guarantee our address will never be given to someone else. If even gmail, under several orders of magnitude higher username demand can resist doing this, so should you.
I like this idea 
No connection
Real-time notifications may not work
I agree in that recycling email addresses is a bad idea from many fronts - biggest issue of which is just your emails going to some other person that currently owns the recycled ID. Hoping there's an explanation from the mailbox team.

Hi,
thank you very much for your postings. es, we recycle addresses, but only after a certain period of time. During this period, the addresses are blocked for re-registration. this prevents the problems you mentioned. how long an address is blocked for re-registration depends on the package and the duration of the contract. the longer a contract exists, the longer the blocking period after cancellation of the contract. You can find more information here under "Plan & details" > "Protection against re-registration":
