How to Close Gmail Email Account
For some people, having a Gmail Email Account can be an interesting way to contact their loved ones, while for others, it becomes irritating when they find it inconvenient and time consuming to check emails on different services, or when they get a bulk of spam email. If you fall in the second group, you may wish to close your Gmail Email Account. Now, there are two choices in this situation. One is to delete your Gmail Email Account permanently, or you can deactivate it for some time. All your friends, applications, and profile changes will be deleted the moment you close your Gmail Email Account permanently. On the other hand, if you want to close it for temporarily and wish to re-login in the near future, then you can opt to just deactivate your Gmail Email Account.
