Use diagnostic logging to record significant events relating to
authentication, connections, and client
actions. Diagnostic logging for IMAP4 is written to the Windows
2000 event log and is set on the server hosting the IMAP4 virtual
server. If multiple IMAP4 virtual servers are located on one
Exchange server, each IMAP4 virtual server is logged at the level
set on the host server. By default, a logging level of None
is selected to log only critical and error events.
In the console tree, right-click a server, and then click
Properties.
On the Diagnostics Logging tab, in Services,
click IMAP4Svc.
Click an item in Category, and then select a Logging
Level:
None. This level logs only critical and error
events.
Minimum. This level logs high-level events by writing
one entry for each major task performed by the service. This level
of logging can help identify where a problem might be
occurring.
Medium. This level records entries for each step taken
to run a task. This level of logging gives more detail once the
location of the problem is found.
Maximum. This level records entries for each line of
code in the service, providing a complete trail of the operation of
a service and logging all events. This level of logging creates a
large amount of data, which can affect server performance.
