Are Gmail accounts deleted for inactivity?

Home More advice Computers & Tech

Hi,

I've had the same Gmail account for personal emails for YEARS. I'm looking to create a new Gmail account under a new and more "professional" name, not one that represents my childhood, practically.

But I have thousands of messages in my current Gmail that I don't want to lose when I create a new account. Is there a fast, easy way to transfer them? Or should I leave my old account stagnant to keep the emails? (I'm wondering also if Gmail deletes inactive accounts...if they do, this won't work).

Any help is appreciated!
