Can anybody advise me how I can disable "Connection Logging which has set itself up in Mail, when the settings were changed for internet connection I am running OSX mavericks 10.9.3 thanks very much
How did you start connection logging, and how is it manifested?
Hi Linc, the wording appeared in brackets along side ever box eg:- inbox, trash etc, when I went with Telstra and changed settings as they are working with pop3.live.com now and I was unable to send any emails... I could receive them but not send and to my knowledge it wasn't appearing before this occurrence but I did have a look at script editor myself and perhaps I activated this app. to record events, I am not sure if this is the case but all my attempts to stop recording if it is this will not work.
Thanks for replying to me I hope this is enough info to assist you.. cheers

Try Mail > Window > Connection Doctor.
Choose your account, and then check the status of the Log Connection Activity checkbox. It's probably set. Clear it, if it is.
The above answer is correct.
I just ran in with the same situation, thx!!!
Thanx very much linc I appreciate your trouble enjoy yr day.. cheers Noelene
I certainaly did not turn connection logging on but the effect was disastrous. Mail would not respond as long as there was a slow connection. I figured this out through turning off all network connections and watching Mail spring back to life and let me search my messages.
Normally if a connection is slow to respond, mail just lets the slow connection do it's thing while everything else operates largely unhindered.With connection logging turned on, your Mail app is a slave to the slowest connection to a mail server (I have 8 total)
I had to crash mail over and over again to do a simple search of my messages until I happen to notice that this connection logging was turned on. I found this thread, turned it off, now Mail works as well as it ever has (very buggy but usable)
How dare Apple do that behind my back!? After all the problems there are Mail, they have the gall to turn on logging and reduce Mail to unusable?
I also deleted all the logs for a good house keeping seal of approvable. They were here:
Some day Apple might consider hiring a test team... instead of relying on all the users.
I had this "Connection logging enabled" issue.
Indeed, the "log connection activity" box was checked in Connection Doctor.
Unchecked now.
I found Cerniuk's LOG location helpful.
My LOG folder in this location was 10.49GB !
Deleted now.
Ever since I upgraded to El Capitan on the second day of release, I must turn off my basic iTunes .mac account several times a day, and dump the gigabytes of logs that are accumulating (For example, I just re-enabled my account 10 minutes ago and I already have a log of 32MB and a Zip archive of 25MB. After I check mail I will have to disable the account again, just so I can read my mail in other IMAP accounts). All log boxes are turned off, but it makes no difference - the logging goes on (up to 36 and 26 as I type this). This "fix" does NOT fix my problem. Any other work arounds? Thanks guys.
Since my recent EC (El Capitan) upgrade, I found that the logs are pretty small for me- each in the KB size. There are lots of them, though, when logging activity in Connection Doctor is active. The logs gathered in Connection Doctor in Mail.app are zipped up pretty tightly. See pics. The current date is left unzipped, while previous dates are zipped up automatically, assuming logging remains turned on. YMMV.
Of course the logging can be turned off at any time, but I find it convenient to keep it on. There's just not a lot of cruft. Connection Doctor is a useful tool when looking for issues with my Email Accounts.
Do yours look similar (~/Library>Containers>com.apple.mail>Data>Library>Logs>Mail) which is accessible more directly from the Connection Doctor>Logs button?
