Assuming you use MariaDB / MySQL, you create this trigger in the database. Assuming your int/bigint/varchar column is lastlogin and the table name is mailacct, the trigger will update the datetime
logindate
column whenever the table is updated, by whatever existing queries you have. This is your recourse when you can't get your queries to do the right thing in the first place.
Thank you for the solution of using sql triggers. I was able to get it working that way. I hope it doesn't add too much overhead as it feels like a band-aid and duct-tape fix.
