accounts can only be recovered to the original email used for sign up.
Is that true?  Hopefully not, else I'm screwed if I ever need to provide login info to Theymos.  You'd think being able to sign a message from a staked addy would be enough, because e-mails can get changed and info lost as time goes on.  I've been a member of the forum since 2015, and I don't know how many passwords and so forth that I've burned through.  Anyway, I'd never heard what you claim is true.  Maybe if a mod stops by, they could verify that.

Here is what theymos writes about this in this thread :

If your account was hacked

Email recoveries...@bitcointalk.org, ideally from the account's email address.

I think what he is referring to is the e-mail at the time of the break-in, not the very first e-mail address. Because the e-mail can change many times over the course of your time on the forum.
