 Difficult to be certain, but this looks very like Chironomus striatipennis (= C. strenzkei)

 Many thanks Tony, TumbsUp

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
