Gmail used up

<< BMW removed from Google index for web spamming | Economic Death Penalty - Spammer Must Pay $11.2 Billion >>

I have been using Gmail for filtering spam mails for some months now…

today I saw why mails got denied :-)

You are currently using 2687 MB (100%) of your 2687 MB

Now I need a QUICK way to delete aprox. 30,000 messages stored there…

can you believe it? you can only delete mails in batches of 100 with Gmail… that would make me 300 "all" commands (that select 100 mails) and a click on delete and wait… ... I'll be sitting here for the next hours

And the gmail error message returned when mail space is used up really sucks

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

firstname.lastname@gmail.com

——- Original message ——-

no word about quota exceeded !

remember Gmail's pitch?

Quote:

Archive, don't delete

With more than 2,500 megabytes of free

storage, you never need to delete another

email. Just archive everything and use

Gmail's search to find what you need.

Oh – I just noticed I got 85393 in my trash area… and it says Google will take care of the "trash" ... hmm – I wonder why they did not?

I could only delete those 85k spam mails in batches of 100 – sorry dudes – no way!
