Does the problem still occur if you remove/rename ~/.gnome2/mail-notification so that it creates a fresh config?

[Khorne (szczygiel-piotr)]

Yes, I removed this folder and mail-notification started then Config
window appeared but after adding gmail account it segfaulted.

Please let me know what kind of info do you need, I'll try to provide
it.

Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect 267021 and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
