- Clear log when sent
Once this option is enabled Powered Keylogger will automatically clear the logs on successful sending to the specified e-mail address.
- Mail From
This option specifies the sender's email address. In most of the cases you may safely define Mail From files the same as recipient's (yours) address. However, if you experience persistent problems with receiving mailed logs, please, contact your system administrator to find out which valid e-mail address you may use.

Please, type in your SMTP login and password to authenticate at the server.
Some Firewalls and Anti-virus utilities can prevent e-mailing logs from an unknown software or process. Be sure to check our "Known issues" section of the manual for instructions on configuration and bypassing these products.
Logs are sent in Powered Keylogger's internal format (PKL) and do not contain Screenshots, even if you have this type of logs enabled. If you enabled sending logs, a letter with logs will contain 1 attachment: a PKL file. To view these logs, follow these instructions:
- Stop Powered Keylogger (click "Options" Navigation Toolbar button and then "Stop recording")
- Save attached PKL file to any folder on your hard drive.
- Point the Keylogger to this file, using the Log Path field in Calendar section.
- Then you can select "This computer" entry to get back to viewing logs from your current PC.
Please, note that you can install Logs Viewer separately if you don't need the keylogger on your PC and read logs you receive via e-mails.
