POP3 and IMAP logging

Need to troubleshoot POP3 and IMAP connections? Not sure why that app that is connecting via POP3 isn't working? Turn on logging!!

Unfortunately logging requires registry editing. For full details see this article from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=299778

Now before you do this I must insert the standard blah blah blah blah about registry editing. If you have never messed around in the registry before just stick to what the article says and you will be fine. Change anything else and you are on your own buster!!!!

For quick reference the key you need to change for IMAP is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Imap4svc\Parameters\IMAP Protocol Logging Level (change the DWORD value to 5)

For POP3 the key is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Pop3svc\Parameters\POP3 Protocol Logging Level (once again change the DWORD value to 5)

Hope this helps!
