This menu offers the possibility to view the logs relevant for email operation.
Clicking the Show queued mails... button displays the submenu, which allows you to view the email queue and perform the corresponding actions. Via Show other logs..., the submenu opens, which offers the possibility to view further log files as well as to manage the mail log.
Backups do not contain logs. In order to store them permanently and securely, it is recommended to export the logs to an external system, see the description under System > Syslog settings.
