I have some bad news for you... This is literally the reason I signed up with gmail when it came out. Microsoft used to have a log-in-within-30-days-or-we-delete-everything policy for Hotmail. Maybe it was even 90 days.

It was 30 days as I found out the hard way sometimes in the early 2000s while traveling with no internet access for 2 months.
