You need to clean the logs yourself, but they should be rotated on
reboot, if they're too large.

NOTE: As syslog is run as root, it can fill the rootfs completely
(some space is reserved for root only).  If that happens, the device
may not boot up and you need to reflash it.
- I would run syslog only when directly debugging something

Modest doesn't update one IMAP account anymore

2009-11-12 Thread Keywan Najafi Tonekaboni
Hi,

I have set up two IMAP accounts in modest (maemo5). Since I was in
england and had an connection error during roaming, one of the accounts
doesnt update anymore. It also doesn't show the contents of already
downloaded mails. The newest message is 4th nov. In evolution
everything works fine.

My question: How could I find more details about this behavior (logs,
debugging etc)

I'm not so much interested in a quick fix, because the account isn't
urgent. I just want to now what goes wrong, so I can file a bug report.

Or should I just write one.

Regards,

Keywan
