I haven't been able to recreate this crash, but I believe this should fix it.

From this stack, it looks like the user has most likely set the hidden pref to check for new messages in all folders, and one or more of the folders is causing us a problem. I can generate a try server build with the fix if you want to contact some of the users having this issue.

> do we know the cause of the regression?
presumably, pluggable store work, though I think there has to be something specifically weird about their profiles, since no one saw this in alpha or beta.

70% are startup.
