Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 341595

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[chaosgate]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060617 SeaMonkey/1.5a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060617 SeaMonkey/1.5a

I moved a profile from a windows machine by replacing the directory names in prefs.js. Now I can only start Mail the first time after I install a different version of seamonkey. Mail works fine when started the first time, but when I close all of seamonkey and then try again, seamonkey crashes without error. Regular browsing works fine, however. When I install a different build of seamonkey, such as reverting to yesterday's build, or going from yesterday's to todays, I can launch mail again, but just once. When I install the same build over itself, I cannot start mail, seamonkey crashes as before.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install seamonkey
2. Open seamonkey
3. Start mail using the icon
4. close seamonkey, including mail
5. Open seamonkey
6. Start mail using the icon
7. Crash

I can confirm that this happens also for me. Crash after opening Mail & Newsgroups the second time Seamonkey is opened. I thought at first I did some screw-up with my profile, so I did a new, fresh  profile. Nevertheless it crashes  .
To recover mail you need to restart Seamonkey with an older build. Close that and start up the fresh Seamonkey. Mail will work again but only once!
