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? ;-)

read&tid=126&tid=95 explains why the move to 2GB. Maybe they
need to set some users' mailboxes to -2GB to make sure they
have enough space?

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.

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