I would expect that a change in personal data (in this case, email) would result in a confirmation email to your old email address from the system - prompting you to login and check what has happened.

Obviously the system does not do that - despite emailing you for loads of other reasons from booking confirmation, 'prepare to fly in 16 days', you have changed your seat request etc. Odd...
