HELP, my gmail inbox is full 2849 MB (99%) of 2849 MB used up

Just today I noticed that the spam inbox got 456,042 mails that are younger than 30 days... what a pain.

Ususally all older mails get deleted, but this mail flood filled up my gmail account...

anyone else experiencing that?
can you change the setting to auto-delete all 10+ days spam mails ?


FYI - I'm using that gmail account as a catchall for "some" really old domains I bought... and they get a lot of traffic - both email and http


best,christoph

PS: if 2849 MB is 99% of 2849 MB, the I assume gmail even tought still accepts new spams in that account

 

Clear your spambox, obviously. Set a filter on incoming mail from those domains to automatically delete.

 

Hmm how is that posible

Delete some mails

Damm and i thought that kind of space can be enouf

 

can you find some emails with huge attachments that can be deleted?

 

gmail will go unlimited pretty soon! so i guess there is some good news for you, though at this moment, deleting some spam emails will help!

 

as I wrote, I got over 500k spam mails in the last 20+ days... that's the prob ... Gmail deletes them only after 30 days

manual delete of course will work

 

Find out any e-mail with huge file attachment and delete. Remove all spam email and you'll get more free space there

 

I'd switch email addresses if I were you. It's obvious some spammers got hold of your current one.

 

there's a utility to backup gmail email to your HD that i saw on lifehacker awhile ago...its name escapes me though

 

lol i always wondered what would happen when gmail is full

 

Up at the top of your Gmail, click "Create a Filter". It's to the right of the search box.

In the "From:" box, type the domain name of the affected domain. Click "Next Step".

Select "Delete It". Click "Create Filter" and you're done.

 

Hey guys - thanks for all your great comments! much appreciated!

 

ohhh hahah you inbox is filled... wow you must be having lotssss of emails.

why not deleting those you dont want.

 

yeah just delete some emails mate, an clear your spam box.
