• Downloading an app
• Using Google Search
• Using Sign in with Google to sign in to a third-party app or service

There are some exceptions to this policy.

yea, the thing is that the account is only used for email, and through thunderbird and k9, no web login. I guess that doesn’t count, :(

login to youtube from a browser with that account and watch one or two videos and sign out. do this every 8-10 months to keep the account active.
