I am leaning more towards just owning your own domain name, and using that for your e-mail address. I.e. configuring custom domain for e-mail. This way, if your current provider goes down (for the long run), you just go to a different provider, and configure your existing domain name for the e-mail. You don't have to change your e-mail address at all this way!

Yes, you could also run your own mail server, but this is not my point.
