Fastmail launched 5 years before Gmail, in 1999. It's also a paid product with a sustainable business model. It's hard to get more longevity than that.
Buy a super cheap domain that you park all of these new email addresses at, like 7467j.com. Then, if you ever need to switch providers, take the entire domain with you.
I think a lot of people have been spoiled by gmail's longevity. Unless you're using your own domain it's a wash anyways right?
I think this is an acceptable trust. I personally prefer trusting something with more longevity than fastmail (apple hide my email).
