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

Apparently they are making it so the email "attachments" shares your Onedrive space, which is only 5GB, but the funny thing is the wording in Chinese when you click on manage your storage, they even stated that the 15GB is what you got for emails "INCLUDING ALL EMAIL FOLDERS AND ATTACHEMENTS"

conflict much? too greedy to change the description even, I hope the ABK deal fails. Sony was right, they are gonna go full monopoly on our behind.

I used AdBlocker to block all the individual elements in the pink ribbon. It disappeared – and reappeared at the bottom of my folder column. So I had AdBlocker block all those elements too. It all disappeared again. Wonder if any of it will come back? Maybe if they change the colour from pink to green?

Yep,

I got same confusing storage banner. And Yep I really don't need one drive, just a money making scam.

I chatted with Microsoft Support and they assured me that my email was safe and my email had 50 GB and to ignore the pink banner they had an error and were fixing it.

I got him to send transcript of my chat.

Biggest problem, microsoft (for all the money they make with ads on my email); has dis-continued its telephone help support. Cheap bastards, they are just trying to sucker you in then trap you by holding your own data (which they see as their data) hostage for subscription service, aka lets monetize our ad clients.

Then they make it hard to copy (ie backup) your emails to your own computer.

They certainly make enough money from ads and spam, to service keeping your email, but they just want more.

So people will probably just start to leave for other email services. And heir ad money will go down. They would be better off just making it really good and simple and guarantee your storage., and they would get more email business.

Dear Microsoft / Sajjad747,

Please explain above. I received the pink bar message today.

It doesn't make any sense.

I have had my Hotmail address since 1998. What's going on?

Thank-you.

Mine also says the same. But it says 5gb storage versus 15 gb storage. I deleted EVERYTHING in my outlook drive and it still says my email is full at 4.9gb of 5gb. Where is the remaining 10gb if I deleted all outlook drive items?? I also have no microsoft apps.
