Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0.0.1 (Ubuntu-edgy)
Build Identifier: thunderbird 1.5.0.9

Thunderbird crashes some seconds after startup. maybe this problem is related to ubuntu linux only. it appears directly after my system fetched some new package versions. even if i uninstall thunderbird and install it again via synaptic the error remains (see below): 

#:~$ mozilla-thunderbird 
GTK Accessibility Module initialized

Segmentation fault (core dumped)


maybe the error is also related to this one:

You can always try downloading an official build from mozilla.org, to see if it's an Ubuntu bug or not.

Same problem, same error message.

Seems to be related with imap. Crash can be avoided by beeing fast enough to stop fetching new imap messages by clicking on a local folder. After success, any new fetching of imap messages will result in a crash, too.

Downgraded thunderbird from version 1.5.0.10-0ubuntu to 1.5.0.7-0ubuntu: Same problem.

Downgraded thunderbird to 1.0.2-2.sarge: No crash.
