Trash Folder: Automatic Purging
As you may know, emails stored in the Trash folder do not count towards your quota limit. In a few weeks (exact date to be announced later) we will begin automatically purging Trash folders of old email. This is advance notice so that if you are currently using the Trash folder to store email you'll need to move it elsewhere in order to keep it.

Inbound Email Delay
Update: 20th March
The backlog was cleared yesterday evening at approximately 11pm GMT. All email has now been delivered.
Original News Post
There is currently a delay on inbound email of approximately 1 hour caused by our servers receiving the usual daily total of emails in the space of only 15 minutes. The hold up is caused by the spam firewall processing this much higher than normal amount of email. We apologise for the delay.
