Obviously, I can't PM him to tell him.

Semi-related question... is the email link supposed to work?

Do you have "Allow users to email me" enabled? It should be off by default.

Yes, but clicking on the email link in another user's post never works for me (nothing happens).  Does it work for you?

If the mailbox is full, then they're either ignoring it - which means you can't contact them or they haven't been active on the board for a while.  Do you know which is true?  FYI, you can check that on the member's profile summary page.

The most common case is that they are a new member, and can't receive PMs yet (haven't posted enough times).

If you are concerned PM an Admin here (Dave). The Admin can see everyone's email address and could contact them if needed.
I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

Yes, we were having a back and forth discussion on P&P machines, and I replied to a message he sent and I got the mailbox full response from EEvblog.  So, he was active the same day, and then my last message went over the limit.
Thanks,
Jon

I tried that, still no change.

Clearly not the case, as we had been exchanging PMs for several days, then I got the mailbox full error.
