How to debug?

Unread post by Bilbo47 » 2025-03-15, 17:06

Could you please drop a link or a paragraph on how to turn on logging for an SMTP conversation... Previous guidance on debugging TB via an environment string I have never gotten to work. Does this actually work, and is all of it necessary? It gives me a zero-length logfile, even after sending to two different mailservers.

Code: Select all

set MOZ_LOG=SMTP:5,timestamp
set MOZ_LOG_FILE=...\smtp.log
set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=SMTP:5,timestamp
set NSPR_LOG_FILE=...\smtp.log
"...\thunderbird.exe"
Orrr, might try the idea presented here of using a different client.

Followup: turning on logging in another client works as expected. Not sure it includes enough detail to snoop establishing an SSL/TLS session. Have not tried looking at OAuth.
