Email Log

In the setting page, you can define the email log's buffer size, select log file format, enable Colasoft Capsa to save email contends and set conditions for the display of email logs. The settings or modifications made in this page will impact the results displayed in the Logs - Email Messages view.

See the figures below as setting examples.


By default, the email log is enabled and the log buffer size is preset as 1024 KB. If you disable the email log, you can not see any email log information from the Logs - Email Messages view. The log buffer size is customizable; when the email log buffer is full, Colasoft Capsa will discard the oldest email logs and append the new ones to it.
