This is really a big problem since one is forced to keep old addresses active and around. But your email provider, even if it’s a paid service, may have stupid policies to recycle addresses very soon and may not make exceptions for you.
Posteo.de recycles deleted email addresses/aliases in three months. Fastmail is also similar and recycles them within three months or so. Same goes for Mailbox.org. All these paid services are pathetic in this regard.
Runbox.com (which I don’t use) is the only paid email service that clearly states that it never ever recycles email addresses, just like Gmail and Yahoo Mail don’t do either.
I’d like to know about privacy focused paid email services that have a clear policy of not recycling addresses.

FastMail may be able to reuse my FastMail address, but my FastMail address is tied to very little, since I use a custom domain, that they can't keep. Of course, as a reminder: This means you have to keep your custom domain, or else someone can register it after it expires and make any emails they want on it. But if you have a domain personal to you that you've used as part of your email address, you should probably keep it forever anyways.
