As a warning, mailbox.org recycles old email addresses after a 90 days/1 year/2 year holding period after deregistration. Consider your own threat model before you use one of their domain emails. https://userforum-en.mailbox.org/topic/2366-address-recycling-reuse

    I'm aware they are doing this, but don't consider this a (big) problem. I personally don't intend to change email hosts often, or ever if possible. As for mails I'm receiving, the number of contacts I have from there is negligible.

    Also note that this is a non-issue when you're using them to host mails for your own domain, which is also always an option at no extra cost.
