ApostolicFire Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 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.)
