Please give crash ids for these crashes, and try in Safe Mode. Also update Thunderbird.

You might try beta 1, which should get you a crash report
 http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/early_releases/
 http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad#Viewing_reports

backup your profile first, and install thunderbird 3 into it's own directory

In any event, please report your results. No dupe found in fixed or open bugs
