Old Email Address From Craigs List

HI, I am from Canada, and the last time I was here , about five months ago I posted an ad looking for a tennis partner. That worked fine, we corresponded and got a game in. I didn't get a normal email address, I just assumed that the same one from Criags list would work. it seems that it may have timed out..........are they only good for a certain time limit?

Your question is not entirely clear. Postings [ads] do expire, as elaborated at https://www.craigslist.org/about/help/posting_lifespans. If however you're referring to an email address you used to create an account, that can be used for sign-in indefinitely. (An exception to the latter clause might conceivably result from the possibility that you were for some reason banned. For more on banning and other disciplinary actions, see https://www.helpowl.com/q/Craigslist/Troubleshooting/ad-deleted/1034296.)
