My coworker just tried to send an email but it would not send. I had her check her email box size:

7,846,546KB!

Yes. you read that right over 7 GIGABYTES of email, most of that in her deleted items folder.

Her response: "I thought when I deleted an email it was deleted."

I used the throwing paper in the trash can under her desk metaphor.

She empty her deleted items folder. 5 minutes later Email she was trying to send was sent on its way.

Somewhere, an IT person is wondering about all the space that just opened up on a server.

Edit: It may have been 78GB. I only got to see the ridiculous amount for a brief moment.

Edit 2:My email box size: 6,923 KB

Edit 3: Not in IT. Just "Tech" person in office.
