Does anyone know how outlook.com handles expiration? In the terms it says you must log in every 270 days. Sounds like plenty of time but I have old gmail account which I use once or twice a year. It would probably have been deleted if it was with hotmail/outlook. The worrying thing would be the email address going back into circulation with someone else. Wouldn't they start to get your mail? Couldn't they retrieve you password on websites with the associated email? This scenario isn't too unlikely as the old gmail account I mention above is associated with login details for 50-100 websites. I simply moved to a new email address and only check it when I need to login into an old site and have lost the password.
