Firefox, Outlook Web Access and a full mailbox
I recently discovered that the e-mails I’d been sending last week never reached its recipients. The cause was that my Exchange mailbox was full and I wasn’t allowed to send any more mail until I cleaned it out. At the time I was out-of-office every single day, so I used the Outlook Web Access client. Firefox is by browser of choice, so even though the UI for “low level”* browsers such as Firefox has limited features, I choose to cope with it than the hassle of staring Internet Explorer just to read mail.
The trouble was I never got any error messages telling me that my mailbox was full so I thought that the mail I was sending actually got sent. It wasn’t, nor did it end up in my outbox nor the sent items folder, it just disappeared into oblivion.
If you’re expecting an email from me, please notify me and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
