I faced the same problem (though my name is not at all very common). Banks, mobile companies never did anything even after I repeatedly told them on phone and Twitter (and have kept a record of it).

One day after I had received a person's bank, mobile statement and many other bills for few months I decided to call him (his number was easily visible in many emails) and inform him of his mistake. He turned out to be lawyer and he said he will "decide" what to do about it. And the next thing I know is he sent a carefully drafted email (as a legal notice) that I should hand over my email address to him without further delay and all that.

I didn't do that. I talked to a lawyer friend and he just told me to reply with a "G F Y" card. I didn't do that either. But that pushed me to finally move my emails to my personal domain as it was/is a Gmail account and if someone complained Google would have just terminated my account and I don't know anyone who works at Google.

[Ayesh]

That lawyer sounds like a douchebag. I super agree with your point too: I'm also slowly moving all my emails to my personal domain and it feels liberating.
