Requirements:
- free
- will not delete my account due to inactivity
- privacy focused (doesn’t have to be crazy private, just decent)
- doesn’t require my phone number
- doesn’t require an invitation (like riseup mail)
Additionally it would be cool if it allowed me to have few email addresses in 1 account (skiff lets you have 4 addresses you can send emails from, but they are shutting down their service).
Not free, but I’ve found great value with purelymail.com. Cost is $10/year or there’s a calculator for advanced pricing (basically AWS costs forwarded).
If you provide your own domain, you can have unlimited email addresses. If you use a provided domain, there’s no predefined limit, but abuse will be stressed by the developer.
If you lose the master account’s password the admin cannot reset it for you, which indicates a strong commitment to privacy.
Because it’s paid, no activity requirements, phone number requirements, or invitations.
It has one of the best terms of service pages I’ve ever read.

Just started using purelymail and it’s great.
10/10 review of purelymail as a 2 year user.
Cost me $20 so far. Because the service is just a service, not a massive ponzi scheme. We need more devs like the creator!
