Sound right, as it would be an easy way to take over other accounts connected to that inbox.

What happens to those accounts they've been deleting for inactivity lately then?

They just sit there, dead.

		Yep. I've been trying to get one for my username. It's one of only two conflicts I've ever encountered online, and it's been inactive for over a decade, but I can't claim it.
