InboxGuard: Email Inactivity Monitor & Automated Login Service
A browser extension + automated service that monitors user email accounts for inactivity warnings, auto-logs in periodically to keep accounts active, and alerts users before deletion happens. The extension integrates with Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and AOL, detecting inactivity notices in the inbox and triggering automated login sequences (via secure headless browser) every 30 days to reset the inactivity timer.

People lose critical decades of personal data when email providers silently delete inactive accounts without proper warningUsers who take breaks from email accounts (travel, job changes, life events) return to find all their emails permanently deleted by providers like Yahoo with minimal notice. This affects anyone who used email as their primary digital archive since the early 2000s, containing irreplaceable personal records, financial documents, and communications. Current solutions fail because deletion happens automatically after inactivity periods, recovery options are non-existent, and users have no reliable way to back up or migrate their data before deletion occurs.
