When you delete your Gmail account, what happens to your emails and mail settings? Your correspondence will be deleted. You won’t be able to send or receive emails using your Gmail address. Only your Gmail service will be disabled, not your Google Account.
When your Gmail account is inactive for more than 24 months, it is considered dormant. If your account becomes dormant, you risk losing any data stored in Gmail, such as emails, files, photographs, and videos. Nonetheless, you will not lose your account.
