From what I know, you cannot access or transfer a email account on death, at most you can close it.
So again, there is a need for legal ways to transfer our digital goods in my opinion because unless you have a will, which so many people don't have set up, with passwords for all of your accounts, which you'd better be updating on every password change, if you die suddenly before you can transfer your account in a orderly fashion, you can be hosed with passing on digital goods
If you can't with this one particular email provider, you can just use a different one, or even your own domain.
