Unable to start MAIL POP3 logging

Post by ec06270 »

Hello, I need to enable the mail activity logging for my POP3 acccount due to a classical "intern error" .. most probably sync lost with the server.

I try to use the MOZ_LOG and MOZ_LOG_FILE envt variables, but does not seem working with the updated 102.3.0 (64 bits) Windows version I have installed yesterday.
Any change regarding the logging for that version ?

Thanks, Eric

They changed it. They seem to be in the middle of moving all of the logging management from environmental variables to doing it via settings in the config editor. Output is moving from the console window/standard out to tools -> developer tools -> error console

For POP3 set mailnews.pop3.loglevel to "All" using the config editor. For SMTP set mailnews.smtp.loglevel to "All". They haven't added similar support for IMAP yet, it still uses the old way.

See https://wiki.mozilla.org/MailNews:Logging
