microsoft free e-mail account age out timeline

Today I have come to know that Microsoft Spy Guide has leaked online through Cryptome, thank you cryptome.

Microsoft named the spy guide as Global Criminal Compliance Handbook. It contains info various information about the various policies and procedures followed by Microsoft to co-operate with the Governments.

Most of use free e-mail accounts. And there are number of people who are still using microsoft e-mail services.

The table down below shows free e-mail account age out timeline :

Account Creation User must sign in within te first 10 days to keep account active.

Account will become inactive after 30 days of inactivity. No e-mail content is deleted but the account will not receive e-mail.

If account owner does not sign in after 120 days of inactivity, all e-mail is deleted and the account becomes a Windows Live ID only account.

If the associated WLID is not used for 365 days from the first day of inactivity period, then the associated WLID is deleted.

After 365 days of inactivity, the account name is recycled and is available for creation by another customer.

Abbrevation : WLID : Windows Live ID.

Please bookmark this page or grab a copy of the handbook from cryptome website.

The End.
