How long should I avoid logging into my GMAIL account to have it deactivated?

Hello,


If you do not log into your FREE YAHOO MAIL account for 4 months it will be deactivated, all your e-mails will be deleted forever.

Does anyone know what GMAIL's rules are about this?

Thanks,

Herringtrader

It becomes "inactive" after 90 days. However, you will then still receive e-mail. After 9 MONTHS (+the 90 days I mentioned) of not logging in, your account will be deleted.

See the Gmail Help Center:

Thanks,

This is what I found:


What happens to dormant accounts?

If you don't log in to your account for an extended period of time, we'll mark it as dormant. After nine consecutive months of inactivity, Google may delete the account and all messages within that account. If your dormant account is deleted, we can't guarantee that your username will be made available again. Make sure to log in to Gmail regularly!

Dormant Account

A Gmail account that hasn't been logged in to for six months.
You can still receive mail if your account is dormant, but you need to log in to keep your account active. If you don't log in to Gmail within three months of it being labeled dormant -- or for nine consecutive months -- Google may delete the account.
