Ask HN: Email Provider for Main Account?

Which email provider would you recommend for your main account? (Banking, government + other important stuff)
With Gmail, I am concerned that I could get arbitrarily locked out of my account with no recourse. Also, I wouldn't mind moving away from Google in general to support a more decentralized internet. If it is based outside of the US, even better. But these considerations are secondary.
So I am looking for something secure, reliable, and usable (good search, not getting overrun with spam) that I could use for the next few decades. Privacy is only important insofar as reasonable security is concerned (vague, I know, but my point is that practicality is more important).
What do you use and what have been the pros and cons?

I'm pretty happy with Fastmail. Web mail and calendaring UI is really nice, search works well and is super fast. Company is headquartered in Australia, but I think they have significant infrastructure in the US.
