Example: say my email is [email protected] and I set my account up to allow ONLY that email address. When hackerboy comes along and tries to change the email address, icq will prevent it and lockdown the account until I come along and re-activate it.
Your email address would have to be private, and should you need to reactivate your account, you'd have to correctly answer security questions which are set to be completely random so that a pattern isn't easily found.
I'm sure there are all kinds of things wrong with this idea, but it's a better one than ICQ currently has.

well if someone hacked your icq, then he would have your # and password, so he could change the email adress that you set as a flag in the options..
