I should probably have elaborated as to what's triggering the crashes for me -- 
Benny and I have been talking about it for a bit, and I think he's well on the 
way to solving it, but, just in case someone else reads this and can benefit, 
here's what I do that may be different enough to trigger issues.

I have several IMAP accounts that for Synchronisation Schedule are set to 
"Connected" (but, I've also set this to 30 minutes to try to make the crashing 
less frequent, kinda-sorta worked, but, not always).

I'm running my own IMAP server (Dovecot), and I use Sieve and dozens of Sieve 
rules quite heavily.  This means that my incoming email is filtered into loads 
of mailboxes automatically.

Tags (IMAP keywords/flags) are also something I make significant use of.

Within MailMate, I have a number of Smart Mailboxes, such as ones to show me 
unread messages in mailboxes where Sieve has sorted mail, and a few other 
special conditions (like Smart Mailboxes for unread messages with a certain 
text/body of email match), and of course, Smart Mailboxes for certain Tags.

The (frustratingly repeatable) crashes for me always occur when I'm viewing a 
mailbox which is the target for these Sieve rules.

Crashes would typically take place when the message view was updated (from my 
point of view, such as when a Synchronise takes place, which would update the 
view list), or, when I deleted a message (which would move it to the Trash and 
update the view of the folder, or a few other similar conditions, such as 
sending a reply to a message in one of the folders in question.

From memory, I don't think crashes ever took place when I was simply using my 
INBOX, or any folder which was not receiving Sieve controlled background 
updates.

I'm happy to report that Version 1.14 (5975) has been extremely stable so far, 
with only one crash (again, whilst a Sieve updated folder was being shown) in 
the last day.  Ahhhhhh.

For most people I don't think the crashes would have taken place, and poor 
Benny was having a devil of a time reproducing it.  Thankfully, it was very 
reproducible here, so, I think that's why 5975 seems so much happier.  Fingers 
crossed!

Scott
