Yahoo Mail Storage False Report?

    I have a Yahoo mail account, with the 100MB of free storage. Interestingly, my used portion of that keeps going up even though I am not keeping any new mail.

    I'll delete the new messages (all spam) and the empty out the trash and the bulk folders. When I go back to the Inbox it says I am using even more storage space than before. I started out at 1% and now it is at 9%. I do not have any new email stored since this new 100MB expansion occured. My most recent saved mail is from May and I have not sent anything out since then either so nothing is in the sent folder.

    I added up the sizes of my mail and it is not anything close to 9MB. It should actually show much less than 1% instead of 9%.

    Anyone else seeing odd behavior with Yahoo mail? I don't really use this account any more so I'm not worried, but it sure seems like fishy behavior.

    I used my Yahoo! account everyday, and I even have saved mail, and it doesn't even say 1%, it is still at 0! You may want to notify Yahoo!.

    It was at 0 for quite a while, but the last few weeks it keeps going up whenever I empty the trash. Guess I'll stop emptying the trash. ;)
