I might be missing something here, but since when did ISPs have an obligation to provide storage space for their customers. An ISPs server mailbox is litterally like the Royal Mail's sorting office. We don't ask Royal Mail to store our mail, indefinitely. Why should we expect an ISP to do that for us?
