Default How to change ISP but keep email address?

I’d really like to ditch Spectrum as my ISP, but I’m afraid I’ll lose my email address. My email address was set up under the old Roadrunner domain in San Diego (e.g., xxxxx@san.rr.com) when it was part of Time Warner cable about 25 years ago. Even today, it remains my main email address when Spectrum absorbed the roadrunner brand from Time Warner.

I found the following article which suggests Roadrunner can act independently of Spectrum: Is Roadrunner Owned by Spectrum? A closer look at the partnership between these internet service providers. But elsewhere, I’ve found that Roadrunner is defunct.

I’m trying to determine if I drop Spectrum, is there any way I can keep my email address? If not, is there some way to have my messages re-routed to a new email address under a new ISP? I have hundreds of accounts set up using my roadrunner email – it would be a nightmare trying to change them all.
