 * This plugin adds a huge amount of data to my wordpress database – it saves every
   email in the database in the wp_posts and wp_postsmeta tables. It’s several gigabytes
   now. I’ve now turned off logging, which I assume will help. How can I remove 
   all the old emails in my database.

 * Hi [@ollylama](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ollylama/)
 * I hope you are doing well.
 * We’ve completely overhauled our Email log system to enhance your email experience
   and take advantage of the new features in Post SMTP version 2.5. It seems like
   your current installation appears to be running on an older version of Post SMTP.
   To benefit from these improvements, follow these steps:
    1. **Update the Plugin**: Begin by updating Post SMTP to the latest version.
    2. **Migration Process**: Once you’ve updated the plugin, a migration process will
       be available to you. This process will seamlessly transfer your existing email
       logs to the new system. Look for the “Migrate Logs” option in the plugin settings.
    3. **Perform the Migration**: Click on the “Migrate Logs” option and follow the
       prompts to migrate your email logs to the new system. This ensures that all 
       your historical data is retained and accessible in the upgraded Email log system.
    4. **Clean Up Old Logs**: As part of the migration, the plugin will remove the 
       old view logs from the previous version.
 * Following these steps, you can fully leverage the enhancements and improvements
   introduced in Post SMTP version 2.5.9.1. Enjoy the benefits of a revamped Email
   log system that provides a more efficient and organized way to manage your email
   communications. If you encounter any issues during the update or migration process,
   please refer to our documentation or contact our support team for assistance.
 * Thanks and regards,
