It could be the way iOS is encoding the wbxml for the email with the  
missing To. The Second error you listed below also points to something  
funky going on with the wbxml. Essentially it's saying that something  
we expect to be there is not present. The only way to debug this  
further is to look at a detailed activesync log captured during the  
attempted email.

If you are selecting to output a file for each device (which you  
should be), then this configuration value should be a directory path,  
not a file path. I.e., the directory to place the individual log  
files. The files are named after the deviceIds that they are capturing  
for.
