Need a mod that will disable user accounts after x amount of time. e.g. 365 days  (configurable)
the mod must also email the user to remind them that their account is about to expire and request their moderator to provide renewal

It's so powerful that on this post and even in the two PMs you sent me,you still answered my question very quickly and you're apologizing for the delay. You're the #1 support I've probably ever encountered man, so much respect for that. Thank you, and get better soon.

I'll keep this in my siggy for a while just to remind me that someone appreciated what I did while others didn't.

If i understand the recommended mod correctly, that will delete inadtive accounts. That is not what i want, mine must be simply based on a predefined date

##### Sends emails to inactive users and deletes them if they haven't logged in on the forum.

##### Some features:

- Chose how many days the user needs to be inactive for the mod to send the mail.
- Chose how many days since the mail was sent for the user to be deleted.
-Prevent users from been deleted after seding them an email.
- Customize the mail body and subject, you can use the following wildcards:
   - {user_name}' => user's real name,
   - {display_name}' => user's display name,
   - {last_login}' => user's last time s(he) logged in on the forum,
   - {forum_name}' the forum's name,
   - {forum_url}' => the forum's url,
- Check which usergroups will be affected by this mod. Main admin group cannot be affected.
- Once the user has received the email and the grace period has expired, (s)he will appear on the mod's user list, on that list you can:
   - Mark the user for deletion. The user will be deleted the next time the scheduled task gets executed, there is a small chance for the user to skip deletion if (s)he logs in between the time the admin marked their account for deletion and the time the scheduled task gets executed, this timeframe, however, could be very small and it cannot be larger than a full day.
   - Mark the user as "untouchable" This special setting tells the mod to completely ignore this account, that is, the account won't be eligible for deletion even if it complies with all of the criteria.
- A sub-menu in the admin button in the main menu will be added if the mod found 1 or more people ready to be marked for deletion.

I take that to mean you can set it to delete, or not.

May want to click the link to see the discussions on the mod. You may get more info and answers to your questions.

SMF cannot really disable user accounts. There would be no point, except, uh, I don't  know, a hassle to the user....?

It makes sense for email providers such as outlook because then they have an excuse to prune those mails. Such action is much more difficult on a forum because messages posted  on it can be of use tomany people, while emails are for one individual only, and are usually backed up on a local machine.
