I was actually thinking libraries would make sense to. Problem is it would be good for something that can stick with you for life no matter where you move. USPS for the us would be the only thing I ccan think of with offices that wide spread.

Or maybe the Department of Education could provide to young people an email adress for free. (Snail) mail has never been free afterall (you pay for stamps) so not having a free government service would be new.

Yeah. Maybe, in this fantasy world, you can port your address to different branches the same way you might transfer your phone number between carriers. My phone number area code reflects where I lived when I got my first phone. It does not correspond with where I currently live. The same could be true of email addresses in this scenario.
