Can an email address expire?
E-mail expires or disables with inactivity
For example, users who do not log into their e-mail account at least once every thirty-days can have their accounts deactivated. Those who use Gmail, another popular free online e-mail service, will not lose their e-mail unless the account is dormant for nine months.
What happens when an email expires?
Do note that the expiring emails won't disappear on the sender's end and they will find it in the “Sent” folder. The sender will have to manually delete the expiring email if an individual doesn't want it to exists. You can send messages and attachments confidentially on Gmail via both mobile and computer.
How do I access an expired email?
The best thing that you can do is to use the provider to find the old email account or old messages. All of the major providers, including Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, and AOL, have recovery tools available. If the email address is from a lesser player in the email game, again, you might be out of luck.
How long does an unused email address last?
Do unused Gmail accounts get deleted? Google no longer completely deletes Gmail accounts due to inactivity. However, if a Gmail account has not been used for more than 24 months, the data stored in the account (messages, files, photos, etc.) will be deleted.
