OK, the person who uses the email account will get it back.

But what about the real question?

Why was a bank sending a list of this very personal information in (unencrypted?) email? Sending confidential information via unencrypted email isn’t the proper way to convey the information. Who sent the information? The bank employees need some training in proper electronic methods of safeguarding information.

Personally, I think the person who had their account deactivated should sue for loss of their email account (assuming it was important to them).

Deactivating an email account with no responsibility or renumeration sets a bad precedent.

I know if I lost my main email account, it could cost me financially by losing access to possible work and contact with people. Recreating it would cost a fair amount of time.
