You are currently exceeding your Yahoo! Mail storage quota by a very large amount. You are only allowed -2048.0MB of storage but you are currently using 0.1MB of storage. Your account has been temporarily disabled from receiving new messages.

The easiest way to continue receiving your important email is to expand your mailbox. Yahoo! Mail offers 10, 25, 50 and 100MB of storage space starting at just $9.99/year. Click here now to order Extra Storage.

If you are not interested in Extra Storage, you will need to delete some of your email. You may want to start with older email, or email with large attachments. Please remember, however, that once you delete a message, it is gone forever.

Maybe they are having some teething problems ;)

It's more than that, it's completely F'd up. Right now, every time I hit "check mail" I get changes. Sometimes it's the old page with the new 2 gig limit displaying in the corner, sometimes it's the new page with the old 25 meg limit in the corner, sometimes it's the new Yahoo mail plus completely, and then sometimes it's the old yahoo mail. Sometimes it has no formatting at all. Yahoo better have the phones ready for tomorrow.

Gmail? Who? Where? Invites?

;)

there are two rounds of Gmail invites in the past three days.
Google is giving it away.. :)

what's funny is i sent a friend of mine a Gmail invitation to his Yahoo account, but it never showed up in his Inbox, even after waiting for a few minutes. curious, i asked him to look at his Bulk folder, and there it was, the Gmail invitation, went straight to the Bulk folder. lol.

I'm just glad that YahooPOPs! still works with my free 100MB account.
 

Wow, new interface. They must be really scared of gmail. Gmail is still cleaner looking.

Just got the same email from Yahoo this morning. Sweet!

edit: ohh yeah, I checked out the interface...what I really want is a file management tab next to mail/calendar etc. One simple tab that lets me tap all the power of 2GB and combines document management, photo album management, etc. While they're at it, why not add a simple file backup service? Let me download a small NT service app that synchronizes my Documents folder with my Yahoo Storage.
