Log file for what? Exchange is a big product and there are many potential log files, some readable by you, some not... what exactly are you needing?

When I send a mail in the Exchange server, through
https://localhost/owa
the mail is never received properly. So I am to see any errors in the relevant log file of the server.

OWA is based on IIS, therefore you need to check IIS logs at C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles\W
there will be heaps of lines in the log files, so it is not that easy to check the things related to a particular email. you may consider using MS Logparser to help analyse the logs.

For tracking of log file please make sure that has your EMC initialization is sucessfull.
As Tracking of log Explorer under toolbox. Please see that you would be getting an information. If in case you are not getting any information then at that level of case its been observed that level of case please make sure that you have installed the exchange server successfully.
If you failed to send outbound messages or receive inbound messages, you can check smtp protocol logging. But before you use it, please enable it.
If you failed to send internal messages or receive internal messages, you only use message tracking log.
Google out for you. Hope it helps you

there might be heaps of files in the folder, you may find the right file by the name.
as the screenshot shown, the log files can be generated and named timely depending the given schedule. by default, a new log file created daily. in this case, you may locate the file by the date.
