Your Gmail account could be deleted by Google this year but there's a simple way to avoid it

Anyone with a Gmail account needs to be aware of a major update that's just been announced by Google. The US technology company has just confirmed that it is making a major change to its terms that could leave some email users without an account.

Just use them on a regular basis and you'll be fine. The new rules will only affect those who haven't touched their emails or logged into their Photos for two years.
