Further up it says that reading an email counts as being active.
So if you have IMAP access does that count when you simply read that email?!
I have gmail accounts with IMAP that haven’t logged into the web interface in years. I can’t be the only one in this boat. This is very ambiguous and troubling.
- Dalewyn 3y agoIf you read your Google account's emails, you had to log in (POP3 and IMAP both require authentication). If you logged in, that means the account is active. Sounds simple enough to me.
