Senders get a full mailbox message when they hit send. There is no "saved drafts" folder, so the user will just have to wait and try composing the message another time. There are no other notifications or actions taken; it's all up to the attempted sender to check back, and the receiver to ensure they have space.

If someone tries to send a PM to that user, are they notified of the full mailbox? (I would hope so but I've never received such a notification from FT.) Before or after composing the message? I.e., only when hitting send or when the username is entered as a recipient of the message?
If the notification comes at the "send" step, is the message retained as a draft that can easily be sent later by just hitting send? Or does the message go into a queue to be sent when there is space in the inbox or attempted at regular intervals? Or (bad) is the attempted message simply lost?
When space is created in the mailbox, are the previously attempted incoming messages resent (if the completed messages were retained in a queue) and if so, how quickly and in what order (FIFO or LIFO)? Do people who attempted to send messages when the mailbox was full receive a notification? Would they receive a notification later that the message had automatically been successfully sent?
