As a security measure, basic measures of activity are tracked on alumni email accounts including login and sending email to ensure accounts are not abandoned. To meet the activity requirement you must:
- Log in to your Google account using your CalNet credentials at least once every 6 months.
If your account remains inactive:
- After 4 months of no measured activity, a notification will be sent to both your @berkeley.edu email and listed recovery email. You will then be required to reauthenticate your account to confirm it as active.
- After 5 months, a second notification will be sent to both your @berkeley.edu email and listed recovery email.
- After 6 months, your account will be disabled. Your account and all of its contents will be deleted.
Note: Sending mail through your Gmail or third party email app can only be tracked for 30 days. Other types of activity like forwarding email to another account or using auto-reply messages cannot be tracked and does not register as account activity.
