Gmail Beta Woes
I guess this is why Gmail is still Beta… I just got this and a few of my friends have as well, and we definitely have not been doing any weird stuff with our Gmail accounts… anyone else running into this recently?
Gmail by Google
Lockdown in sector 6!

I have and continue to do lots of weird stuff with my gmail account(s) including:
-gmail file system
-using gmail as a place to dump server backups
-automatically checking account for new messages using a 3rd party tool, specifically http://www.nexgenmedia.net/extensions/
I haven’t received any messages so far.

I have played with such tools in the past, but not in the several months at least (maybe year). That is why this is so mysterious…

Hopefully their forthcoming storage increase will more than make up for it.
