    Hi,

    By default the retention period of the message tracking log is 30 days, you can check your retention period by Get-TransportService | ft Name, MessageTrackingLogMaxAge command, if it is 30.00:00:00, unfortunately, I'm sorry to tell you that  you can't view the message tracking log older than 30 days.

    Here is a screenshot of the test I did on this command:A black screen with white textDescription automatically generated

    If you want to modify the retention period, you can use Set-TransportService. For example:Set-TransportService -Identity ex19 -MessageTrackingLogMaxAge "365.00:00:00"

    Hope this helps!
