- JeremyBanks 10y agoHotmail/Outlook used to(?) do this as well. I had an account expire ~10 years ago. Somebody else registered the address and used it for several years, then eventually let it expire as well. Last year, I re-registered it, and used it to recover access to an account I created a long long time ago.
