User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061006 Sunbird/0.3

Sunbird always crashes after exactly 10 minutes (to the second) even when if it's not being used.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Sunbird
2. Wait for 10 minutes

Actual Results:  
It crashed with a Windows "Send error report" message.

Expected Results:  
well... not crashing?

I don't use Sunbird very heavily. I have less than 20 events in my calendar and only have the "Talkback" add-on (v0.3) installed.

Your bug report doesn't contain enough information to analyze the problem, e.g.
if there are any error messages shown.

Therefore I can only guess that this is the same issue as in Bug 357106 that is a duplicate of Bug 331404. Can you run the findold tool [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=224295] that is attached in Bug 331404 and see if it lists files?

Yes it lists a very old file (from 1617) so it might be the same bug. However the crash still happens even after having changed the date of the file.

There's no error message - just the standard Windows "Send an error report" message box.

This is what I get in the Event Viewer:

"Faulting application sunbird.exe, version 0.3.0.0, faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.163, fault address 0x000177a9."

I don't know if it's related but this event also always appear a few seconds after the sunbird crash:

Event Type:	Error
Event Source:	Application Error
Description:	Fault bucket 335088323.

Thanks Stefan, I moved the old file to a different folder and it solved the problem.

I guess the bugs could be tagged as a duplicate of 331404.
