User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050421 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: version 1.0+ (20050510)             Linux home 2.6.8-24.14-smp #1 SMP Tue Mar 29 09:27:43 UTC 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Recently Thunderbird started frequently crash after I added message filters to
all three of configured IMAP accounts. It looks like the crash happens before
spam filter is executed, but after the crash spam filter does not run and I have
to run it manually.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Expected Results:  
not crash

Do you have your inbox(es) configured for offline use? Or have a filter that
moves messages to a local folder?

Comment 2

[Alexey N. Solofnenko]

Yes, all three IMAP accounts have filters that move some messages into local
folders.

Comment 3

[David :Bienvenu]

if you turn off just those filters, does the crash stop?

Comment 4

[Alexey N. Solofnenko]

I think you are correct. The crashes started to happen after I added filters to
copy messages into local folders to all accounts. The crashes happen on startup
(I think because all three accounts are checked simultaneously). Is it possible
to disable filters in config files, before Thunderbird starts?

Comment 5

[David :Bienvenu]

Do you mean you always crash on startup so you can't disable the filters through
the UI? If so, you can edit the msgFilterRules.dat files for each server, and
change the enabled="yes" lines to enabled="no". Or did you mean you just wanted
the filters disabled on startup, but to work afterwards? There's no way to do
that. I'm just trying to make sure it's the filters that are causing the crash.

Comment 6

[Alexey N. Solofnenko]

The crashes stopped after disabling rules on additional accounts. 

Comment 7

[Alexey N. Solofnenko]

It stopped happening after one of nightly build updated. I think it got fixed
somehow.

Comment 8

[Alexey N. Solofnenko]

It started to happen again. I do not know if it is related, but there seems a
race condition in spam filter - I was able to reliably crash Thunderbird when
selecting about 20 messages in IMAP folder, marking them all spam (with
automatic moving the messages into Trash) and switching the current folder. I am
sorry, during those crashes, no TalkBack was activated.

See talkback 10324049 .

One more: TB19400322M

Comment 13

[Alexey N. Solofnenko]

I noticed that too, reinstalled the last build, and crashed it again on a different account. There are still no debug symbols. Maybe there are no debug symbols for tgz Linux builds?

Comment 15

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

TB24951536H is TB 2.x and stack looks same as previous comments except for source line number changes 

OS=ALL - there are talkback incidents against windows.

another startup bug is bug 361311

Comment 16

[Alexey N. Solofnenko]

Now it crashed (twice) in EndMessage() when starting Thunderbird after two days. There was about 360 and 90 spam messages in both registered IMAP accounts:
TB26461997M
TB26462007G

Comment 17

TB28237224H

I think that maybe rules on both my IMAP accounts that output into the same local folder cause the crash.
