both of you used gmail as an example to make opposing arguments

I'm confused about that. I was pretty sure that Google's policy was that, while they'll delete inactive accounts, the addresses don't become available for use. I thought those addresses were basically dead.

But at least one poster says they're reusing addresses.

Yes, the other person is mistaken, Google does not repurpose accounts.
