[Dovecot] Client transaction logging in dovecot.

[Tan Shao Yi]

Hi Timo,

Thanks for your reply.

Would it be possible to request for it? Occasionally we do have users who 
complain about e-mail loss when they have actually downloaded them or 
initiated the deletions. Having such logging in place will ease tracking 
of what actually happened.

Or do your good self or anyone in the list have a good way of making such 
information available? Logging the whole transaction (including the bodies 
transferred) will really be too much logging. :(

Thanking in advance.

Cheers.
