When I read this page, at first I also thought "I didn't get an email from my rep" but looking closer, I did. The announcement was in late November and it talked about upcoming changes but it didn't say that the email account would he deactivacted. Thinking about it today though, maybe it was implied, or maybe not.
There was an announcement though.
There was more than one pareto rep of course, but if you were using the same one as me, you would have got the announcement too, but I didn't interpret the announcement the same way as others have posted in this thread.
Like many others, I had nothing but positive experiences with my rep and I hope he's doing fine.
