谷歌将于 12 月 1 日开始删除不活跃的 Gmail 帐户

据PCMag的报道，谷歌计划于12月1日起删除不活跃的Gmail帐户和照片。非活跃帐户被定义为两年内未使用的帐户，包括未登录、未发送或阅读邮件、未使用云端硬盘、未观看YouTube视频、未分享照片、未下载应用程序以及未进行登录时搜索活动。

此政策仅适用于个人账户，不包括与雇主、学校或其他组织相关的账户。一旦被视为不活跃，Google可能会从12月1日起删除帐户中的所有内容和数据，包括照片、日历事件、文档和电子邮件。

Google将向不活跃的帐户发送通知以及一封恢复电子邮件。谷歌在其政策中明确指出，帐户最早将于2023年12月1日因此政策而被删除。

有一些例外情况，如在Google Play商店购买商品或帐户有余额的礼品卡。因此，如果您有一段时间没有使用Gmail帐户，希望保留相关内容，请务必在12月1日之前登录。

原文如下：

If you have an old Gmail account you haven’t logged into in a while, you might want to give it a quick visit this week.

Earlier this year, Google announced plans to delete abandoned Gmail accounts on Dec. 1, and that deadline is quickly approaching.

Google is getting rid of unused accounts because they’re particularly susceptible to hacks. Hackers will often gain control of an old email address and then use it to send scam emails. Abandoned accounts are also less likely to have things like two-factor authentication enabled.

Starting on Dec. 1, the company will start deleting accounts that have been inactive for at least two years. Accounts will be removed via a phased approach, so the first ones to go will be accounts that were created and then never used again.

While it seems like a big move, it’s really just taking things a step further than it already does. Back in 2020, Google announced plans to delete the contents of abandoned accounts across Gmail, Drive, and Photos.

December’s account deletion will impact Gmail, Drive, Docs, Meet, Calendar, and Photos but the company has said it does not currently have plans to delete accounts that have YouTube or Blogger content connected to them.

Apple Mail Is Actually Useful Now: 12 Things to Try if You're Sick of Gmail

Google says it will send multiple notifications in the months leading up to the account deletion before hitting that self-destruct button, so impacted folks should already have been sent a notification or two. Notifications are sent to the account in question, which obviously will do no good if it’s not in use, but also any recovery email addresses on file.

译文如下：

如果你有一段时间没有登录的旧Gmail账户，你可能想在本周快速访问一下。

今年早些时候，谷歌宣布计划在12月1日删除废弃的Gmail账户，这一最后期限即将到来。

谷歌正在淘汰未使用的账户，因为它们特别容易受到黑客的攻击。黑客通常会控制一个旧的电子邮件地址，然后用它来发送欺诈性电子邮件。放弃的帐户也不太可能启用双因素身份验证等功能。

从12月1日开始，该公司将开始删除至少两年不活跃的账户。帐户将通过分阶段的方法删除，因此第一批删除的帐户将是创建后再也不使用的帐户。

虽然这似乎是一项重大举措，但它实际上只是让事情比它已经做的更进一步。早在2020年，谷歌就宣布计划删除Gmail、Drive和Photos上被废弃账户的内容。

去年12月的账户删除将影响Gmail、Drive、Docs、Meet、Calendar和Photos，但该公司表示，目前没有计划删除与YouTube或博客内容相关的账户。

谷歌表示，在按下自毁按钮之前，它将在账户删除前的几个月内发送多个通知，所以受影响的人应该已经收到了一两个通知。通知会被发送到有问题的账户，如果它不在使用，显然不会有任何好处，但文件中的任何恢复电子邮件地址也是如此。
