Thanks Jim - I had missed making that connection. Good to know for future
investigations.

Troubleshooting logs are only enabled when you specifically request them
to be. See the choices under Tools/Options/Maintenance and at the bottom
of the page under the Troubleshooting section. When checked, those
choices will cause an appropriately named .log file to be created in the
message store folder. (i.e., pop3.log, smtp.log, etc.)

Where does one find the OE troubleshooting log?

Thanks again

In the store folder with the data (DBX) files. Go to Tools | Options |
Maintenance | Store Folder. You will have to set Windows Explorer to
show hidden files and folders.

Found the DBX files but no log. Hidden files and folders are viewed
(Being an engineer, I need these sometimes)
Since this machine was originally XP home that was converted to XP pro, a
new user was created in the update. Much of the files are still under the
original user groan. I'll poke about later.

thanks
