Why is Apple blocking my email

Recently, I reached the maximum limit of my 5GB iCloud storage, which resulted in all incoming emails being blocked. This included essential bill payments and two car registration renewal notices. Since I was unaware of their expiration dates, I now have to pay late fees. One of my bill payments was blocked, but Bank of America was able to send me a letter and subsequently removed the finance charges that had been applied to my account.

Why? Because you're out of space. Would you rather they just randomly delete something from your iCloud storage that might be important to you to make room for new incoming mail?


That's not going to happen.


Either buy more storage or clean up your mailbox.
