[MlMt] My sent messages have disappeared - are there any useful logs?

[Pat Maddox]

Thankfully, I quickly learned that FastMail has an easy to use recover feature: https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000280381

Whew! :)

I am still curious where I can find logs to maybe track down what happened...
