I've just received this mail from Yahoo about officially increased capacity.

They messed up my account. Here is what I got in the email today:

You are allowed up to -2048.0 MB storage in your Yahoo! Mail account.

You have exceeded your quota by a large amount, as you are currently using 0.0 MB of storage. Your account has been temporarily disabled from receiving new messages. Please delete messages you no longer need, especially large messages, in your Yahoo! Mail account so that you can receive new mail. To delete messages, just go to the Yahoo! Mail website (http://mail.yahoo.com) and sign in to your account.

We recommend that you keep at least 1 MB of free space to receive incoming mail. To reduce the likelihood of reaching or exceeding your storage quota, we suggest that you configure your POP3 client to "Delete messages from the server" when retrieving your Yahoo! Mail. Check the help files for your POP3 client if you need assistance in adjusting your settings.

Sincerely,

The Yahoo! Mail Team

(notice the negative 2GB amount I now have.)

6MB old interface this morning... 100MB new interface now

I wonder if Hotmail is going to increase free accounts mailboxes too...

I wont sign up, anyway. When I had hotmail, every day I got at least 3 emails from them asking me to buy their stuff. :ninja:

That's becasue everyone is hammering the servers trying to get their accounts to look right. Give ti some time, it will get better.

@Bearded Kirklander: only for the free service. If you have the plus! account, then no.
