Background
Emails to a close friend has been bouncing back.
Thankfully he himself brought it up.
He said his Google gmail account is full.
He furthered that he tried to clean it up a bit, but he did not make a dent.
And, so he stated that he went ahead and created a new email account.
Additional Storage
Buy new Storage?
I asked him whether he is amenable to buying new storage. He said Yes, but he wasn’t quite sure how to.
Help Research
I told him I will help him research how to do so.
I have had plenty of my own research these last few weeks.
And, so only now getting to it.
