Mail logger plugin

This plugin can be used to log several actions done in a mail session:

• Setting and removing Deleted flag
• Expunging (includes autoexpunge)
• Copying mails to another mailbox
• Mailbox creations
• Mailbox deletions
• Mailbox renames
• Any flag changes
• Saves

Messages’ UID and Message-ID header is logged for each action. Here’s an example:

imap(user): copy -> Trash: uid=908, msgid=<123.foo@bar>
imap(user): delete: uid=908, msgid=<123.foo@bar>
imap(user): expunged: uid=908, msgid=<123.foo@bar>

You can enable the plugin globally for all services by setting:

mail_plugins = $mail_plugins mail_log notify

The notify plugin is required for the mail_log plugin’s operation, so be certain it’s also enabled.
