If I sign up for the 60 day free trial of .mac, when it expires will I still be able to use and access the email or will that go away also? (provided I choose not to partake in extending the service)

I ask because I don't want to make a new contact and give the email to everyone only to have it disappear after 60 days if I decide not to continue the service. I understand why they wouldn't continue the email, but a lot of companies still allow it so I figured I would ask people who have ended their service if the email address was ended with it.
 
You will not be able to receive emails sent to the .mac account if you don't continue the paid subscription.

You can use the id for iChat though, even if it expires.
