Morning Len & All,
I've kinda ignored the new log features just because they are new and I
really didn't want new features in a patch release. Also the logs can get
large enough already without more options. I can definitely see how they
would be useful though. I have just enabled them and tried them out, they do
work just as they say in the excerpt from the release notes. I think they
will be more useful for them when they are trying to support the product.

o Logging additions for SMTP, IMAP and POP3.
- Added message status notification to log system. The
user can now set a registry key to toggle logging of
the delivery of a message to a mailbox. The message's
UIDL and the mailbox it is delivered to are noted.
To have the new log entries added to the log, you must
add this key to the registry and give it a value of 1.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\IMail\Global\LogMsgStatus
The messages are in the standard IMail log format.
Here are the log entries for various types of server
actions:
SMTP:
Delivery:
Message xxxx delivered to yyyy
POP3:
Read:
Message xxxx read from yyyy
Delete:
Message xxxx deleted from yyyy
IMAP:
Read:
Message xxxx read from yyyy
Delete:
Message xxxx deleted from yyyy
Move:
Message xxxx copied from yyyy to xxxx in yyyy.
Append:
Message xxxx appended to yyyy.
Expunge:
Message xxxx expunged from yyyy.
Where:
xxxx - The UIDL of the message.
yyyy - The mailbox path.
It is important to note that a POP3 delete entry
means the message was physically removed from the
mailbox, while an IMAP4 delete entry means the
message was "marked" for deletion, but not physically
removed. An IMAP4 "Expunge" physically removes the
message from the mailbox.
