    Probably not. As they have control of the domain they control what name servers it points to and therefore which e-mail accounts are accessible.

    If you wanted to keep an e-mail address you would have to come to an agreement with the new owner.

    What you can do is the keep the email with the new domain owner, but add a forwarder to forward emails from there to a new one

    You can always change the admin's email. Change it before you sell it.

    I wouldn't trust that :eek:
    The new owner could do whatever they wanted to it.
