    Eh, that’s when you just turn on auto-reply/forwarding and abandon it.

    But of course they need to be able to access it to enable auto-reply. :)

      This is what I did. I set up autoresponse giving out an address that redirects to my new email address. My parents called me to see if I was hacked. Everyone else just started using the new address.

      This. Don’t ever delete the account because someone will scoop it up and impersonate you. Just set auto reply and log out. Check the terms, you may need to log in every 6 months though. Do that a couple of times at least.
