Nobody, not even the original owner, could set up a new Gmail account with the same address. The delete process was irreversible. fotog / Getty Images Google received widespread criticism when a large number of users reported their inactive accounts were deleted without warning, giving them no time to back up their data.

Log in and view your emails at least once a year (or more often to be on the safe side). You can send an email, delete an email, or perform any task while logged in to Gmail for it to remain an &#34;active&#34; account. Just make sure you&#39;re online when you log in.
