Well, it was clearly stated that you need to log in and check mail at least once every 3 weeks or account would be deactivated. The service is free and if the guys messages were that important, I would think common sense would dictate to use a more stable (ie a free service you dont have to log into to keep) or would simply cough up the $30....thats less than $2.50 cents a month to know your e-mail wont be disabled, pretty damn cheap insurance if you ask me.
