How To Make Sure Email Account Is Not Deleted?

IssueLet us say, I don't have internet access for more than 9 months. How will I make sure my email account is not deleted?

The only way is to login to your account at least once every few days. If you've not logged in to any account for 9 months; it's likely that you may not need that account.

I'm not aware of any other method to prevent losing access to your email account. I think the policy applies to Gmail; not sure about other services.

So does that 9 month policy applies in case of CE Gmail account too?
