ZERO documentation? Seriously? #39

Today I downloaded and installed SysLog (latest) onto my Android Mobile (latest version) to find clues about how to resolve a mail problem affecting the GMAIL app. For some mysterious reason it doesn't send EMails any longer, receiving is working fine. Usually this has to do with messed up server settings, but I swear to god I haven't changed anything. That's where logs come handy.

Unfortunately Syslog does not provide any clue how I need to set up the app and probably grant permissions, so it catches logs from the mail server connector. After some trial and error I managed to set it up so it catches a log into a zip file, but alas, the log does not contain any info related to mail.

How is one supposed to know how to set up SysLog properly, without instructions?

Armin.
