This would be more consistant if the log values are writen by dbmail instead
of catching them on syslog.

(mailing list alive again :P)

d'accord.

Why? It'd be nice for imap too, to see the traffic that users are producing.
By that, you can see from the logs who your power users are.

I'd also like a field messages_transferred, mostly for pop, but also
possible for imap I guess.

A "status" field is also needed, saying "success" or "error" or something,
to see if accounts are probed.

"duration" to see how long the connection lasted.

Maybe another flag to see if IMAP IDLE was used, or other various stuff that
could be of help finding errors, bugs, performance problems.

I don't know if/when such logging is going to happen, just wanted to
document my thoughts, because if it's done it should be really helpful.

See thread "Re: [Dbmail] POP/IMAP logging via syslog" my mail from 9. 
August 2007 about the too much logging that happens currently. That should
be fixed first, I suppose.
