Gmail inactivity limit is 9 or 12 months, I'm not sure by heart. In either case, if you don't check your mailbox for more than 9 months, then I would assume that you don't really need it that much... I would never go with a service that requires to sign in each month ; there can always be circumstances in which you forget it, or just don't have the opportunity to do so. But anything above 6 months is a reasonable inactivity limit I'd say.

Other option is to pay for your email, then it will remain active for as long as you pay the bill, even if you would never actually use it.
