Email Account Inactivity Policy

The other day, someone mentioned to me that all the messages in her Hotmail account were gone. The only message left is the Hotmail Welcome email.

I decided to do some searching on the 3 mostly used free email providers (Yahoo, Google, Hotmail) and found these info out, with regards to the inactivity policy.

Gmail has 9 months. Read the policy here.

Yahoo has 4 months. Read the policy here.

Hotmail has the shortest grace period, 30 days(1 month)! Read here.

Update: A comparison is available here.
