I tried to go back to work today; well ‘go’ is not quite right as I’d be working from home as I don’t want to risk having a full normal day, with commuting, wearing trousers (belt line rubs against lower incision), being jostled, etc.
However, my two methods of remote access are broken. Bit frustrating really.
Also, my raspberry is useless as receiving 10 days worth of email (at about two messages per second) seems to be all it can manage so the interface freezes up and I can’t send email because my mailbox will be filled up.
Tricky. I want to be doing something.
Hopefully, my remote access can be sorted out sometime this morning.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I think 2 emails per second would make me collapse in a big heap too (my mighty calculator tells me thats 1.7 million emails in 10 days). Are these all the bongs and plings you get from your system?
Well, I did manage to get into my web-based email and it seems I only have about 1000 messages, so that would keep the raspberry busy for a mere 500 seconds – however, I think I’ll leave it off until I can whittle it down.
Not too many plings (only 33).
Problem with our Exchange doodah is that we have 50mb mailboxes and that can fill up real fast, especially when people mail in 5mb screenshots
Sadly, after the mailbox fills up, you can’t send any mail and if it really fills up (say 200%) it stops receiving properly too.
Bit shit really.
50M seems rather draconian – after all, storage is _so_ expensive these days. Although I know that some mail systems have problems when total mailbox sizes get over a certain limit (a brilliant design strategy).
It would be a good idea for systems to bump limits up when you’re out of office – but perhaps that’s just _too_ difficult.
