MobileMe: Expired user names still valid for other services
Summary

Products Affected
.Mac, MobileMe
The user name and password of an expired account also continue to be a valid Apple ID (AppleConnect login) for use with Apple's support pages.
You can change the password and email address associated with your Apple ID at any time by signing in and clicking View Account at the My Info page. Changes you make to your Apple Account at the My Info page are also recognized by other applications where you use the same Apple Account (for example, the Apple Store Online, MobileMe, iTunes Store, or iPhoto). You may be asked to verify your information the next time you use your Apple Account to purchase something in another application.
