Yesterday I had (to borrow a phrase from Susan), a 'blonde moment':

Subject: Your mailbox is closed
Importance: High

Your mailbox has exceeded one or more size limits set by your administrator.
Your mailbox size is 258071 KB.
Mailbox size limits:
You will receive a warning when your mailbox reaches 175000 KB.
You cannot send or receive mail when your mailbox reaches 200000 KB.You may not be able to send or receive new mail until you reduce your mailbox size.
To make more space available, delete any items that you are no longer using or move them to your personal folder file (.pst).
Items in all of your mailbox folders including the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders count against your size limit.
You must empty the Deleted Items folder after deleting items or the space will not be freed.
See client Help for more information.

Note to self: Leave the 'Automatically download enclosures/attachments' unchecked for the Channel 9 Videos RSS feed. After nuking the contents of the folder, I'm back down to a more respectable 107MB (I archive anything older than 90 days).

In my defense, I will state that I checked the download attachments button (on purpose) because I wanted to stream the Channel 9 videos to my Pocket PC using www.orb.com.

Unfortunately, NewsGator only stores the videos in the Exchange store – not on the local hard drive. No joy. But Orb still spanks the llama though – it's better than SlingBox!!
