Hi Micah,

Having all the latest updates (Karmic, including proposed) I get random crashes of either X or applications like Firefox and Thunderbid. I strongly believe it's not a Thunderbird issue but related to my video card, X settings or maybe some memory corruption.

Maybe it's good to close this bug since I'm running Karmic now. If/when I get a similar crash, I'll use apport for uploading the relevant information to a new bug report. It that OK with you?

Thanks, Rdewit

This occurred under Lucid with all latest updates as of today ( 14-4-10 ) Thunderbird was left running and had crashed when I returned.
I believe the crash is related to the downloaded copies of mail under .thunderbird/<profilename>/ImapMail

If I delete the contents then Thunderbird runs fine but after a while when that directory is filled again it will crash.

Once a crash has occurred then Thunderbird will crash in less than 1 minute every time unless I clean out the directory above

Thank You,

Steve
