Mail logs getting gigantic, full HD, Apple Mail

Hi Rob, Your info was very helpful to me. I have the same problem and have now disabled the Log Connection Activity button. How do I find my mail logs? I found the library but can't see a folder with mail logs - not even in the log folder...

Many thanks for any help!

In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then follow the instructions above.

Hi Rob and Eric,

You have both been excellent. Thank you. I found the mail logs a different way by opening the connection doctor in apple mail and clicking on show logs. Found my imap log was 176GB!! Deleted it and now have 187 available GB. So happy!

Thank you again,

KL

Hi Eric, another somewhat related question for you. Since cleaning out my mail logs, I have been checking my available GB of storage and notice that there seems to be a slow drain on it which I can't readily explain - from Monday at 5 PM to Wednesday at 2 PM, I have lost 1.5 GB of available space - every time I checked over the last few days, it was a bit lower. I have not added anywhere near 1.5GB in the last few days. Do you know what would explain this seemingly slow drain? Thanks for any help! Kathy

Hi Eric,

See my reply to you via Rob's message. Thanks!!
