   This is a very real problem - it is not helpful if the email account 
is unmonitored, or even allowed to be deleted due to inactivity. 
However there is a relatively easy solution:

   If your primary account is not gmail.com, get a single gmail account. 
  Each import account would add a unique identifier to the email address 
with the + sign for example -
