Proton Mail is good, just don’t use the paid version of any Proton service. The paid version will delete your email address if you don’t keep up with payments.
You can get a lifetime subscription to Proton Pass sometimes, and that’s what I did. I suspect that may protect my account from deletion due to inactivity if I’m picked up by ICE or hit by a car and put in a coma (just examples, I’m not American). I’m not sure if it has that effect though.

I emailed them a little over a year ago about this because the terms of service were unclear. I was told by support that my main address wouldn’t be deleted, but I would be moved down to the free tier in every way – so I would lose my extra addresses and aliases, as well as extra storage space. I was also told that there was a 30-day grace period in case my renewal payment didn’t go through for some reason.

I’ve looked up so many email providers that I may have got the terms of services mixed up.
