Google is deleting all emails not in use in last 2 years.

Make sure any emails you have with a Runescape account attached to it has been
logged into.

You dont want to end up not having access to your registered email in case you need
to recover or change info using your registered email.

Just thought i would post this as I just got an email about inactive google accounts.
I have seen so many people in community led account help end up not having access
to their registered email and i wanted to prevent that from happening to others. The richest person is not who has the most. It is who Needs the least.

Original message details are unavailable.
... I think getting emails from Jagex and us reading them would count as activity.

That's a good point, I get 5 or 6 of those per day :P

Yes, i do agree about RS emails.

But if you read the community led account help.

Weekly there are 2, 3 plus that have lost access to their email or its been deleted.
Therefore they have issues changing pw's etc.

So, i was only mentioning this for those who might not read the emails on their registered
emails or use them very often. The richest person is not who has the most. It is who Needs the least.

'
Be CAREFUL
' ... to anyone who wanna know '
Account activity
' is a definition that might sound deceiving.

- receiving emails and read them is 'NOT' activity
- being logged-in ready to receive emails is 'NOT' activity

Please be aware but companies having an email service are treating 'activity' a different way.

Can't access email ... <- (link) in '
Jagex's Support Centre
' has follow-up links to those companies whom have changed their policy towards 'Account activity'.

How Google defines activity
A Google Account that is in use is considered active. Activity might include these actions you take when you sign in or while you’re signed in to your Google Account:

-> Reading or sending an email
-> Using Google Drive
-> Watching a YouTube video
-> Sharing a photo
-> Downloading an app
-> Using Google Search
-> Using Sign in with Google to sign in to a third-party app or service

Google Account activity is demonstrated by account and not by device. You can take actions on any surface where you’re signed in to your Google Account, for example, on your phone.


These companies wanna receive data from your accounts, logged into those accounts, companies are pushing users to do more to produce more data for them to process.

Today I even experienced/noticed that WhatsApp is brutally demonstrating that the moment I wanted to send a message in my chat, WhatsApp suggested I could also make a video-call.
I thought what the F... mind your own business but I wanna do what I wanna do, not what you are suggesting.

Since the European Union is pushing data-companies with more rules those companies are going to change their policy towards end-users.

So '
Be CAREFUL
' and make sure you show activity as how they wanna see it ... once in a while ...
