iCloud Storage - deleted email but still having issues

After receiving notices that my iCloud storage was full (and according to the settings, it was all used up by email), I deleted most of my inbox and trash 3 days ago. Today, I still am not receiving any new email so I completely deleted my inbox and trash folders with still no luck. How can my storage still be full after deleting over 118,000 messages? Please help.

I had been having the same issue of email taking-up 4.8GB space of 5 GB limit even after I had deleted all iCloud mail or moved it to my Mac (all iCloud mail including inbox, send and trash). I decide to Quit Mail (option in the Mail tab) and reopen. When I re-openned Mail, storage dropped from 4.8 GB to .67 GB. Hopefully this is the fix and will work for others.
