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.

    I have just hit the same problem today having had about 7GB of attachements and now being only allowed 5 GB what is even more appalling is that there is no way of deleting attachments from e-mails once you have downloaded them. Sounds very much like Microsoft is desperate to make money. I have had my account for about 16 years but time to say good-bye I think.
