Lost access to my old Gmail account recoveries cause it had been over 4 years since the last login. My M$ account recovery is not possible despite opening about 10+ cases with their engineers who fail to respond 100% of the time. And when they did it was automated. So without either recovery available ill just go to type in all the info I have about my old Gmail. Automated response forms with more automated rejections. I've tried it easily 300+ times at this point. Doesn't work.
If it was so important data isnt the onus on you to keep it locally backedup or at least login once a few months?
Ohh come on now. Are they supposed to keep things around indefinitely? Most providers will wipe accounts after just a few months of inactivity.
I don't care about other providers I want my old gmail back.
