when the mailbox is full
 
I tried to respond to a pm today, but couldn't because the recipient's mailbox was full. I understand the need to limit the size of our personal mailboxes. And I realize that it is our responsibility to monitor that size. But there are probably a lot of members who have no idea that mailboxes can get full, or that they can do anything about it when it happens. I think it would be a nice feature if the board could automatically send an email to us if someone attempts to send a pm and our mailbox is full. Just something saying "you missed a pm because your mailbox is full" and then giving instructions for how to fix the problem.

I agree totally with Dunster! Had no idea until I read her post that there was a size limit on our PM mailboxes on this board - and never have seen any reference to how to "clean out" same on any of the stickies.

Start 2014 with a cleared mailbox everyone! A notification would be great for members with a full mailbox but how?
