Live log tail

--tail opens an interactive terminal UI on top of the log endpoints. Status updates in place as messages flow.

jetemail outbound logs --tail
jetemail inbound logs --tail
jetemail inbound account logs --tail

Filters work in tail mode too

Anything you can filter the static log views by also works while tailing:

jetemail outbound logs --tail --action BOUNCED_HARD --poll-secs 10
jetemail inbound logs --tail --logtype spam
jetemail inbound account logs --tail --logtype quarantine

Keyboard shortcuts

Key	Action
`Enter`	Open a structured detail view for the selected row
`r`	Show the raw event JSON
`Space`	Pause / resume
`/`	Filter visible rows
`q`	Quit

Buffer & polling

Flag	Description
`--poll-secs <n>`	How often to fetch new entries. Default `5`. Raise it for long sessions.
`--buffer <n>`	Maximum entries kept in memory. Default `500`.

jetemail outbound logs --tail --poll-secs 10 --buffer 2000

Look-back

By default only entries logged after you launched the command are shown. To include older entries that are already in the API’s buffer, pass --date-from:

# include everything in the buffer
jetemail outbound logs --tail --date-from 0

# include the last hour
jetemail outbound logs --tail --date-from $(( $(date +%s) - 3600 ))

Three sources

Command	Endpoint	Scope
`jetemail outbound logs --tail`	`/outbound/logs`	All sends across your account.
`jetemail inbound logs --tail`	`/inbound/logs`	Inbound mail (can scope with `--uuid <domain>`).
`jetemail inbound account logs --tail`	`/inbound/account/logs`	Account-wide inbound activity, including allow/blocklist hits.

All three share the same keyboard shortcuts and buffer / poll flags.

When not to use tail

--tail is interactive and intended for a real terminal. For scripting, CI, or jq pipelines, drop --tail and use a one-shot jetemail outbound logs --limit N (paged) instead.
