If you lose access to your Gmail account and recovery information sent to sbcglobal is auto-forwarded to Gmail then you won't have access to that forwarded copy. However, if you can still manage to login at sbcglobal and view emails there and auto-forwarding doesn't delete the original copies, then you'll have the recovery information you need at sbcglobal.
But if the reason you lost access to Gmail is due to account hacking, then the hacker will also be getting your recovery information forwarded from sbcglobal and may be able to act upon it, changing your password again, before you can do anything. It's probably better to use an alternate email address that isn't auto-forwarded to your Gmail account.
