An error message on the Gmail.com homepage
Google announced the move in May to protect users from security threats.
To preserve an account, users have to sign into their email at least once every two years. Google says any of the following actions will also prevent an account from getting deleted: Read/Send an email, use Google Drive, watch a YouTube video, download an app on the Google Play store or use Google Search.
Google says the policy only applies to Personal Accounts, not to organizations like Schools or Businesses. Accounts with YouTube videos are also exempt.
Please note that the first accounts to be deleted will be those that were created and never used again. Users who are affected should have received multiple notifications to the account email and recovery email address.
