From my inbox:

"Hello [email hidden],

You are currently exceeding your Yahoo! Mail storage quota by a very large
amount. You are only allowed -2048.0MB of storage but you are currently
using 0.8MB of storage. Your account has been temporarily disabled from
receiving new messages."

How do I get my usage into minus figures? ;-)

explains why the move to 2GB. Maybe they need to set some users'
mailboxes to -2GB to make sure they have enough space?

Or they used a 32 bit signed int, and you were lucky enough to be given the
full 2 gigs = 2^31 = -1

On the off chance that you havn't sorted this out, the BT support helpline
has a message saying it's a cockup and to ignore it.
