Comment 5 for bug 823783

I used this script to start tbird with debug logging (found at http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/Thunderbird)
  #!/bin/sh

  TB_PATH=`which thunderbird`
  # or for MacOSX:
  #TB_PATH="/Applications/Thunderbird.app/Contents/MacOS/thunderbird-bin"

  MYDATE=`date "+%Y%m%d_%H%M%S"`
  NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:5
  NSPR_LOG_FILE=/tmp/thunderbird_${MYDATE}.log
  export NSPR_LOG_MODULES NSPR_LOG_FILE

  $TB_PATH &
  exit $?

There was nothing in the log that pertained to this, so I tried 'tail -f' on the log, and no new data appeared when I tested this problem. Is there a better way to do the logging?
