How can you know that you'll have the same e-mail address in 20 years?

  Some people have had the same email address longer than that.

    Of course, and one of my e-mails also exists since almost 25 years. But (unless I own my own domain, as someone suggested, and don't fail renewing it), it's hard to predict what will happen in such a long timespan. Not quite, but a bit like betting that I'll still be living at the same street address.

      Well, if you change your email address, I guess you just don't receive the message. I don't think there's any way around that unless you maintain an unbroken chain of email forwarding from older addresses.

  Your best bet is to register your own domain. Preferably with an unrestricted generic TLD like .com or .net as you may lose the right for a specific TLD at some point, for example if you are using your country TLD and you move. What is less certain is: will the service still work and will the email pass the spam filters?
