    google deleting email/accounts

    Does anyone know what a email account gets deleted like they are doing to the ones that havent been used in 24 months, will that account name ever be able to be used again?

    Im hoping to get a certain username and as far as i can tell its in active. if i know how long its quarantined for i plan on jumping on the day its hopefully released again.

    24 months of inactivity is more than just accessing your gmail account. It means 24 months of not accessing anything associated with your Google login.

      guess just because i get no reply to my email isnt enough to assume inactivity. plus they might not ever re release the account again as it might possibly allow someone to gain access to other accounts.
