    Google all the way here, they noticed some strange access activity on my email account and locked it (was actually me checking emails via a VPN which unfortunately logged me in via a US IP). I emailed them about it, clarified the details they asked for and within 12 hours they had unlocked my account again and got me logged back in with an apology for being over protective lol

    I'm with google.

    I have 5412 emails.

    You are currently using 602MB (8%) of your 6834MB.

    I can usually find every email I need to. Some are for record keeping. Some I just can't be bothered to sort out from years ago. (26/08/2004 my first gmail email)
