I've got 90 messages in my box so far. Whats the maximum?
What do you mean by a tailored generic system by the way? Is NKS part of a different website?
Ohh.. So we like use someone elses codings for web designs, etc?
Ah.. So we may have not changed the codes for maximum amount of messages, or they may have already written it.
Neil was telling us he didn't get any traffic from you []The issue about database sizes is that we have a tailored generic system, so the same system is used for the smallest to the largest of databases. If there are limits, it would not be built into the system, but ones that would have to be parameter driven - so the question is whether Dave has set those limits, and how they are set (are they set on a limit per person, or a global limit).The problem with limits is that while this may be quite easy to implement on the 'outbox' (you just prevent for outgoing messages), if you implement it on the 'inbox', then you need to cascade the error back to the sender (when the 'inbox' is full), and if the sender is sending mail to multiple recipients, you need to identify which inboxes are full and which were sent successfully. All of this is quite possible (since it happens with regular email all of the time), the question is whether that code has been implemented or not.It may well be that the feature might be there, but left unimplemented until the level of PM traffic starts becoming a significant burden on the system.
