I tried the socat logging 3 ways, all as root. 1. socat -v tcp-l:143 openssl:localhost:993 2>evolog.txt After entering that, I launched Evolution, and created a new local e-mail account. When that was done, I quitted Evolution, and then terminated the socat by entering CTRL-C in the terminal. No messages showed up in the terminal, and evolog.txt was empty. 2. socat -v tcp-l:143 openssl:localhost:993 After entering that, I launched Evolution, and created a new local e-mail account. When that was done, I quitted Evolution, and then terminated the socat by entering CTRL-C in the terminal. No messages showed up in the terminal. 3. socat -v tcp-l:143 openssl:imap.mail.yahoo.com:993 2>evolog.txt After entering that, I launched Evolution, and entered the info. for the yahoo e-mail account that I use for this list. When that was done and the account was done loading, I quitted Evolution, and then terminated the socat by entering CTRL-C in the terminal. No messages showed up in the terminal, and evolog.txt was empty. I'll examine the info on Evolution logging that Patrick pointed to, and then try that. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
