IMveryHO rejecting an application for a non-IT job based on an unfashionable email address is equivalent to rejection because of the wrong postcode/street name.

I don't think it would get you rejected, but it might get you a little extra notice either good or bad. For example, I still see an occasional @aol.com address and I know the person's somewhat older right away. Chances are I am even older than that person, but a young hiring manager might see that address as a turnoff. Often the youngest, most inexperienced people in an HR department are assigned to make the first selections through a pile of job applicants.
