This module allows to log into the server the basic information of emails that have been fetched from the mail server, before they start to be processed.

This allows for a better analysis of situations where emails are found to be missing in Odoo. Can help to better resolve questions of the type 'Was it that the email was never fetched, or a problem found when it was processed by Odoo?'.

auto_awesome What this module does

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 15.0

Logs basic information about every incoming email fetched by Odoo before it is processed, so administrators can check whether a missing email was ever received.

This module adds a logging step to the standard incoming-mail handling of Odoo. Whenever Odoo fetches an email from a mail server and starts processing it, the module writes a line to the server log with the sender, the recipient and the email's Message-Id.

  • The log entry is created before Odoo tries to attach the email to a record, so it records the email even if processing later fails.
  • It works on the shared mail.thread behaviour used by all Odoo documents that can receive emails, so it applies to every model that accepts incoming messages.
  • No new menu, screen, button or report is added; the information is written to the server log, which administrators read on the server.

This helps answer questions such as "was the email never fetched, or did something go wrong when Odoo processed it?" by showing whether the message reached Odoo at all. It does not change how emails are routed or processed, and it does not store the log inside the Odoo database.
