80.1 Processing Log
80.1.1 Overview ¶
The processing log is the central place to trace what the program has done with incoming emails. For each processed email, a log entry is created that documents result, tasks, timestamps and detailed status. In the main window the log is available via the lower area - one tab per category.
The log lives in a local database and persists across program restarts. Retention period and display options are configured in Program Options -> Log (see chapter 40.20).
80.1.2 Tabs ¶
| Tab |
Content |
| Successful Processing |
Emails whose tasks were executed without errors |
| Errors |
Emails for which at least one task failed |
| No Match |
Emails that the profile saw but excluded via the filter |
| Postponed Processings |
Emails currently waiting for their delay to expire (see chapter 60.1) |
| Unreachable Folders |
Notes about folders the program could not open (see chapter 50.6) |
Each tab shows a number in parentheses in the header - that is the count of entries newly added today. The total number of all entries in the tab is shown without parentheses before it.
80.1.3 Columns ¶
The following values are shown per entry:
| Column |
Description |
| Profile |
Name of the profile that processed the email |
| Tasks |
List of executed or checked tasks |
| Processed on |
Time of processing |
| Received on |
Receive time of the email (from the header) |
| Sender |

| Subject |

| Attachments |
Number and names of the attachments |
| Status |
Success / Error / Skipped per task |
Column widths and sort order can be customized - the setting is saved per tab.
80.1.4 Filter ¶
Using the toolbar above the log list you can set filters:
| Filter criterion |
Example |
| Processed on |
Today, yesterday, last 7 days, custom time range |
| Received on |
As above, but for the receive time |
| Profile |
Only entries from a specific profile |

| Task type |
Only specific tasks (e.g. only “Save attachments”) |
Multiple filters are combined with AND. The active filter configuration is kept until it is reset.
80.1.5 Actions from the Log ¶
For each log entry, actions are available via the context menu:
| Action |
Effect |
| Open file |
Opens a file produced by the entry (e.g. a saved email or an attachment). With multiple files a submenu opens for selection |
| Show in Explorer |
Shows the corresponding file in Windows Explorer. With multiple files, analogously via submenu |
| Copy entry to clipboard |
Copies the entry data as tab-separated text |
| Open profile settings |
Jumps directly into the profile settings of the processing profile - useful to review the configuration after an error |
CSV export and Excel report are located in the toolbar above the log list (see chapter 5).
80.1.6 Use case ¶
Daily business
In the morning, check the Errors log tab - if there are entries, the Details column shows the cause of the error per entry.
80.1.7 Tip ¶
- The CSV export covers the filtered selection - set matching filters first, then export
