Oops, it looks like the strace output is too large to be attached. Apologies. If this is a recent phenomenon and not related to your Claws Mail version, then it would appear that it must be in relation to something that is not Claws Mail, right? Thank you for your prompt reply, I was about to post here. I neglected to add that the problem has only been cropping up since I upgraded to Claws 3.8.0. However, in a sense you're right. when running from the command line, every crash was accompanied with a message saying "IMAP: parse error." Once this message appeared, the program would hang. I managed to address this by upgrading dovecot to version 2.0, clearing out all indexes and caches, and moving out most of the old messages to a separate IMAP account. Now it seems to be working smoothly. As such it seems like the bug,if there is such, is a result of Claws failing to gracefully handle IMAP errors. I am changing the status of this to Resolved now but perhaps this can be considered in future. |
