Do you really believe in "forever" or "for life" when it comes to email? I wouldn't trust any provider that claims to be "for life". We don't know how email and the internet in general will evolve... And how could any provider assure to never go bankrupt or go inactive because of other reasons?
I remember here in Belgium you had AdValvas.be and in our neighbouring Netherlands there was ilse.nl. Both services claimed to be "for life". However, if I recall well, they were both gone within the couple of years.
If there is any provider that may come close to "for life" it will, unfortunately, be the big players like Gmail, Outlook/Hotmail, Yahoo, ... Those companies are so big and wealthy that it's unlikely they'll disappear. But even with them I wouldn't dare to say "for life" with certainty. The internet changes too rapidly, I wouldn't dare to predict how it'll look and function like in two decades from now.
