I'm getting a reproducible crashing behavior. I'm on Fedora 14 (x86_64) and running mail-notification 5.4-26.fc14. I'm configured for a handful of Gmail accounts only. This consistently causes the crash:

1a: Allow mail-notification to run and notify about existing mail.
1r: mail-notification runs smoothly.

2a: Without bothering mail-notification, read ALL existing items in Gmail inboxes, so there is no new mail; this is the important factor.
2r: mail-notification icon eventually disappears (on its next poll event).

3a: Receive a new mail item in an inbox.
3r: Instead of reappearing with a new mail notification at the next poll event, mail-notification crash is detected by ABRT.

Package: mail-notification-5.4-26.fc14
Latest Crash: Thu 11 Aug 2011 03:41:09 PM
Command: mail-notification --display-properties
Reason: Process /usr/bin/mail-notification was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
Comment: None
Bug Reports:

As a result, I have a crash on a nearly daily basis.

Workaround: Leave one or more pieces of mail unread in one or more monitored accounts.
