B166ER - Made in Cyberspace

Gmail account appears fully operational now, and the suspension appeared to be active for only around 20 hours. During account suspension time I wasn’t able to download attachements, but was able to read email and view attachment previews.

The reason for the suspension appears to be a massive burst of emails with attachements from other gmail users - Even though I cannot confirm that this is the only true reason, it is the only anomality I’ve noticed when I was notified of the “Lockdown in Sector 6″.

After getting a nice barrage of funny emails from a friend of mine, I was notified by almighty Google that my Gmail account is suspended, for up to 24 hours.

To Google’s defense I must say that I was sent around 50MB in random movie and PPS files, with very little content or description, except the Fwd: Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fwd: Ha-Haaaa and Fwd:Fwd:Fwd:Fannay titles.
This is the exact text of the notification:

Our system indicates unusual usage of your account. In order to protect Gmail users from potentially harmful use of Gmail, this account has been disabled for up to 24 hours.

This is likely due to the use of a third party software tool with Gmail. If you are using any third party software that interacts with your Gmail account, please disable it or adjust it so that its use complies with the Gmail Terms of Use.

I was able to get back to reading my emails, but no longer able to download any attachments, at least not immediately after the notification of account suspension. Hopefully the account will be get back to normal withing 24 hours as described .
