Earlier I had the problem of the email app simply not updating my hotmail account anymore. It would say updating, never stop (until closed) and not give any error. I tried deactivating the account, allowing and disallowing apps to use it and moving .qmf to forced it to generate a new one, moving it back etc. The only thing that fixed it was rebooting the device.

I don't know what caused this, but if it happens again, where might I look for logs and how might I force restart the mail service/application? Does it use cron jobs? systemctl didn't show anything containing "mail. What would a restart fix?

Is not really a good idea to move the database around, it can be in inconsistent state now, better to recreate the account. Is this hotmail over exchange ?

Correct way to stop mail daemon is:

systemctl --user stop messageserver5.service

From the mailing list:

If you have developer mode enabled, set in /home/nemo/.config/QtProject/Messageserver.conf:

[StdStreamLog]
Enabled=1

Then run message server in foreground:

pkill messageserver5; sleep 2; /usr/bin/messageserver5

and try reproduce. Once you are done, change it back to 0 in the .conf file

What does the entry "StdStreamLog" mean and where can I find the corresponding log (file) then?

Hotmail. Haven't been able to recreate it, the device had a pretty long uptime when it happened. Thanks for this!
