## 25.6 Operations

The Operations log gathers information about removed and moved items (messages, contacts, events, tasks and notes) in user mailboxes. It is helpful especially if a user does not manage to find a particular message in their mailbox. The log tells us whether the desired message has not been removed.

In addition to the items related information, the log also includes information about removing and moving any folders in mailboxes.

Besides removals, the log also gathers information about moving folders (it treats them as subfolders removed from the particular folder). Moving of folders is marked by a special flag.

The information is recorded following this pattern:

Removed (moved) item

  `[07/Aug/2008 11:07:02] {DELETE} Protocol: HTTP/WebMail, User: wsmith@company.com, IP: 127.0.0.1, Folder: ~wsmith@company.com/Deleted Items, From: "Winston Smith" <wsmith@company.com>, Subject: "Vacations", Delivered: 07/Aug/2008 11:05:27, Size: 1320`

  - `[07/Aug/2008 11:07:02]` — date and time of the operation (moving or removing of an item).

  - `{DELETE}` — operation type. The item was removed or moved.

  - `Protocol` — type of protocol used for removal or moving of the item. The protocol type tells us by which email client the user accessed the server (examples: HTTP/WebMail — the Kerio WebMail interface, SYSTEM — automatic deletion of items, HTTP/WebDAV — MS Outlook extended with Kerio Outlook Connector or MS Entourage).

  - `User` — user mailbox where the operation took place.
