Can't send email

I thought I saw this posted somewhere and came here to see what the fix might be, but I can't find it....

I can't send email. I have no emails in my box but when I try to send one I get the message:

"Your Inventory is Full. This item could not be added"

and then

"There are outstanding global email transactions. Please wait a minute and try again."

Solved it myself. Thought of something just after posting it. So now I'll tell about the stupid thing I did that caused this problem.

I recently got gifted a large some of inf and without thinking or looking at how much I had on the character I was logged in with I just hit claim. Well the amount put me over the cap and I didn't actually claim it, but it did not stay in the email, instead I guess it has been floating in the ether for over a day. To fix the problem I when to Wentworths and put up some sizable bids on some expensive enhancements (low enough that I new I would not get them) until the inf floating in the ether appeared in my total. This cleared the problem.

I still think this is a bug. It should not have allowed me to claim the influence at all and should have given me the error when I tried to claim it, leaving it in the email.
