Generating Log Files

To generate log files, you should first enable the log file feature. Open the Log page by clicking the icon in the toolbar, select a type on the left, then enable the selected log file on the right. Click the button to open the Log File Settings dialog, where you can name the log file and designate file path. Colasoft Capsa will automatically generate log files if you check Multiple files and set the parameters; you may also customize the count of log files saved in your system.

By clicking the browse button and check Save log file to disk, you can select to save all captured email logs to a single file or multiple files which are split by time or size.
