Can I delete files in /Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Logs?

Question

My MacBook is becoming unstable due to limited disk space the major culprit for which is a mysterious category called "Other". Poking around a bit (a lot actually) I find that I have over 650 GB of Other, 330 GB of which is in a single file in

~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Logs/Mail

called

imap-mail.outlook.com-<GUID>.txt

What is this file? Is it safe to delete it?

Answer 1

Simply delete the file. It's even safe to do this while Mail is running.

Accumulation of these files can be prevented by choosing Window > Connection Doctor in Mail and making sure "Log Connection Activity" is unchecked.
