Hello!
No account with your email address exists in the system.
Downloads never require an account (if you had to create one for that, it means you downloaded from a third party site, and not ours, and you might want to re-check your download).
Subscriptions from the old majordomo system did not automatically create a new account when they were migrated, but an account is necessary if you want to manage them. If you create a new account with the same email address that was used for the majordomo system it will automatically connect those together the first time you log into the list server at https://lists.postgresql.org/. So I believe this is what you need to do -- create a new account with that email address, and you should get access to everything.

I have subscriptions originally created with majordomo; my records don't show any general postgresql account, though it's possible I created one during a recent download.
