Mail Monitor Logging Bug and Annoyance

Mail Monitor doesn't seem to keep one location for the logging file, and it seems entirely unpredicatable as to where it will put it.

I managed to get it writing to a file in ..\Application Data\Truesoft\ briefly, but just now it's decided that the file should be in the Desktop directory!

I can't find anything that sets up the location of this file in Mail Monitor; only the filename can be chosen.


Also, Mail Monitor always uses Notepad to open the log rather than my chosen text editor. It should respect the system setting for opening text files.

Hello Lazlo.

The method that worked for me is as follow:

- I chose the folder in which I wanted the file to be saved.
- In this folder I created a blank text file (deleted-emails.txt).
- I opened Mail Monitor, browsed and selected this file as the log.

So far It's been working fine, and hasn't moved from this folder.

Thanks Denis, it's amazing how the simple answers are the best. However, just typing in a file name *ought to* put a text file of that name into a *sensible* and *consistent* location.

Of course, your solution does not address at all the fact that Mail Monitor does not respect my choice of editor for text files.

"Thanks Denis"
You're welcome.

Oh well, I did my best.
