In that case it would have been January, not now. Wikipedia says 1 year, I haven't yet found info on usps, even on the page for mail forwarding, and I've gotten mail from addresses I left 2-3 years ago, amazingly enough. I just think that the summer help started and people aren't paying attention :)

However, I still get forwarded (junk) mail on occasion from places I haven't lived in for years--I guess you wouldn't call it a perfect system :)
I think maybe you can also pay extra postage to have mail forwarded...I think that applies to bulk mail.
