| Hi all,
|
| I am not sure if everyone has had the same problem I faced. My
| company exchange mailbox will prohibit user from sending email when
| mailbox size reach a certain size limit. However, in some occasion
| user will be "able" to send out the mail only to receive a bounce
| note later telling that the mail will not be delivered until the
| mailbox size is reduced.
|
| Question:
| Sorry, this may sound a bit ridiculous (because anyhow the user still
| won't be able to send mail. I am not particularly annoyed by this
| but there is a user complaining on this and requested explanation,
| gosh, please help me to answer him):
| Why sometime I receive a pop-up saying I can't send mail but sometime
| the pop-up doesn't show but instead, a bounce note would be received
| to tell me that the mail is not sent because the mailbox is
| oversized? According to the user, the 2 incidents happened on two
| different machine. I remember I did face the same incident sometime
| ago on my own desktop but I am not able to repeat the "bounce-note"
| incident, I tried to oversize my mailbox but I will receive a pop-up

| Please help.
