Hotmail account

Find a better ISP that doesn't delete your mail, or one that gives you POP3 access so you can download and keep the important ones somewhere safe?

Those will both suffer the same problem - if he relies on webmail to keep his important mails safe, if something goes wrong at their end, his mail will be gone, with no comeback. The only way to ensure important mails are kept safe is to store them somewhere safe - i.e. download them to your own computer, and keep backups.

It is by design that all webmail sites follow this right? The duration might be different like Yahoo Mail has 2 months (60 days). The reason being that they want to reclaim the locked up server resources with users who are not interested or not seriously concerned using the webmail service.

Hotmail mail can be accessed using Outlook. You can use Outlook to save your mail in a local folder. If you don't want your email account deactivated after 30 days MSN will gladly accept 19 dollars a year for Hotmail Plus account. Then you account will never expire.

No. GMail doesn't do this, AFAIK.

I had signed up for that, and it was a pain in the butt to cancel. They'll send you an email before its time to renew, just so you know that you're going to get charged again, but there is no way to discontinue your service online. They have a maze of different pages/links you have to follow, all just to finally end up at a page that says, call this phone number to cancel... Very frustrating... /rant.
