Why not ask for a larger mailbox? Or take mine; I don't use it. :)

I'm sure, if we upped the mentor inbox limit, we would not prevent Evo's mailbox from becoming full... instead, we'd just increase time between cleanings.

Yeah, the more messages I'm allowed, the more I save. :redface:

I'm not invisible anymore because we have a visiting dignitary here that appreciated knowing when I am actually online.

:smile: Maybe you should write a little bit of code to automatically delete the contents of her PM box on a weekly basis, since that seems to be about how quickly she fills it up again lately. I predict it would only take her one week and 6 days to get in the practice of archiving and cleaning it out. :biggrin: :devil:

Well, you did not have to go through all that trouble just for me :biggrin:

P.S. I prefer to be called your Excellency.

Maybe some of it could be forwarded to *cough* a gmail account if it reaches a certain limit.

Yes, your excellency.

And it's not even because people have dirty minds...

I don't understand. Could you explain?
 
  • #23
Guess I'm the only one here with a dirty mind...but no, I really couldn't get myself to actually explain it! And if I did, I'd have Evo's scorn to contend with, and I'm certain Hell hath no fury to match that.
