User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030718 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030718 I installed 1.5a on i386 using Debian GNU/Linux today. Started a new profile. Created multiple e-mail accounts in mail. In Second account created multiple folders under Inbox. Set up mail filters to send mail to various folders. First few messages came to those folders, and I clicked on the thread button in the top left of the message list box to re-sort the messages by thread. This has caused all of Mozilla to freeze three times for me now, although once it did thread the messages OK. It may be that it works less well (or not at all) with very few messages or with a small set of messages none of which are even part of the same thread. I can't be sure what's causing it yet. But I lose total control of mozilla and have to kill the process manually. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Press thread button in mail view. 2.Mozilla freezes. 3.(Other steps described above may or may not be crucial.) Actual Results: Mozilla froze. Expected Results: Threaded the messages.
dupe of "Freeze when trying to view IMAP folder threaded" if you use POP3 instead of IMAP, please comment in the other bug and I'll remove it from the summary of that bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 216513 ***

I'm not convinced these are related, since one is IMAP and one is POP3. re-opening for now.

can you zip up a folder that has this problem and e-mail to me, or attach it here? thx
ping?
This happens to me on SUSE 8.2 using 1.5rc2, no mail filters or anything. I am using Courier-IMAP server account. I press the display message threads button and within a second or two all mozilla windows (browser included) freeze. Using killall mozilla-bin will get rid of the windows and I can restart no mozilla no problem davidjw@calypso-it.co.uk
David, can you try a 1.6 build? There are reports that this is fixed in 1.6
