Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Opened thunderbird (from the UI/CLI).
Entered security password & let it finish checking mail.
Selected random folders (NTP/RSS/Local) one at a time and hit Get Mail icon while in each folder.
Ended with Inbox > Get Mail.
After a few seconds a window pops up stating it was unable to connect to my newsgroup server.
Segmentation fault reported on CLI, nothing in logs.

I could use some advise on how to properly create a report to post here.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Could you please generate an apport crash report for this?
You can enable apport for one instance like this:
sudo service apport start force_start=1

I am marking this invalid as apport will open a new bug when the crash is generated. If it does not, you can reset the status of this one to New and we will try something else.

Changed in thunderbird (Ubuntu):
status: New → Invalid
