Your mailbox is over its size limit

Today I received an automatic message from my ‘System Administrator’ and it went something like this:
“Your mailbox has exceeded one or more size limits set by your administrator. Your mailbox size is 14613 KB…You must empty the Deleted Items folder after deleting items or the space will not be freed.”

How nice, they even made it stupid-proof (‘you must empty the Deleted Items folder…’), but did the creator of this warning think about the logic of the feature?

Well, let’s see. What is the problem the warning is telling us about? The inbox is full. And in what form do we receive the warning? In the form of a message to our inbox, thus making our inbox even fuller than it was in the first place.

I suppose, though, I should be grateful that Microsoft didn’t decide to include a picture or maybe an attached help document along with the e-mail.

*tsk* *tsk* *tsk* Microsoft…

So,your saying they sent you and email to tell you that you can't receive more emails. They also told you the solution is to delete email that you already deleted. Gosh, I love Microsoft. I wish Adobe made their own operating system. I bet that would be awsome.
