Thank you for reaching out.  McMaster Alumni do not retain access to the @mcmaster.ca account they used as students.  The Alumni Association does offer Email forwarding for those wanting to keep a McMaster related email address. 

Please refer to the information on the Alumni Association's webpage regarding this service:  https://alumni.mcmaster.ca/s/1439/17/interior.aspx?sid=1439&gid=1&pgid=4454

Please note: Before you can establish your email forwarding, your @mcmaster.ca email address must expire. If you still have access to your @mcmaster.ca inbox, you are not eligible for email forwarding.
