Ι've had it happen to me but very rarely and this is a wild shot that may relate the problem to a certain activity. Are all of your icedove folders on the default home/. directory or do you store some folders in other local or network drives? My theory revolves around the mounting and unmounting volumes of storage or them not responding fast enough and some threshold intolerance to disk response in icedove makes it crash. Possibly for security reasons .. I don't know. I am not confident of this but as a different user unmounts and remounts the same volume where icedove stores a mail folder at some point later icedove crashes. The occasion when it happens is too infrequent for me to research it as a problem. No signs of any data loss or corruption. I assume there is some log file somewhere in the maze where it records the crashing condition. I hope this may help and not confuse the issue. > With regards, > Paul van der Vlis Kat -- "The most violent element in society is ignorance" rEG
