Microsoft Outlook Storage Message - reducing from 15GB to 5GB

Hi, starting today a pink bar at the top of my outlook page stating 'From February 1st, you'll need more storage to send or receive emails.' then provides 2 links to 'Manage Storage' & 'Get More Storage'. There is a second window bottom left hand side stating in red font 'Microsoft Storage' '14.6GB used of 5GB (292%)' 'Get More Storage'. What is going on? I've had this account for 10 + years.

    They blocked my account yesterday so I had to succumb, did manage to get 3 months free trial, but then $99 per annum (premium 1TB), therefore once this happens you only get 2 choices Pay or Leave.

    Best of luck

    Same here

    it is very disappointing

    initially Microsoft said 15GB free ,after we fully relay on outlook email then Microsoft cutdown the storage to 5GB and asking us to PAY

    what a strategy ...!

    May be time to move

    A G R E E D !!!

    Deleted a bunch of old stuff, and even got things below 5 GB and still get the same message REGARDLESS

    UNRELIABLE account anyhow - which is spammed like crazy and NOT a secure email account to use - its been a good tilt - BUT SEEE YA !!!

    Not paying a dime, while others who got suckered into paying are still having related issues

    MONEY GRAB FOR SURE !

    Da oggi, sono passato all'app Gmail per i miei account Hotmail. Ho dovuto abbandonare Outlook.
