i am using claws-mail 3.9.3 from Debian testing. my usual crashes happen when trying to move among gmail folders and especially when deleting several messages one by one.

Are you suggesting by your backtrace snippets that include libjavascriptcoregtk-1.0.so.0 that this is somehow related to the Fancy plugin??
hello Paul, well although the backtrace mentions libjavascriptcoregtk it never crashed when i was reading or doing something that involved the fancy plugin, at least that i could see, maybe it was doing something in the background? this last crash happened once again when i was deleting several emails from one gmail inbox. the message that claws displayed was something like "BUILDING THREADS". right now i have about 7 email accounts configured. thanks
and another....

> Debian testing. The backtraces are lacking all the interesting details, because you've not installed the -debug packages.

With "usual crashes" you probably mean "most of the time it works, but sometimes Claws Mail crashes spontaneously". In case you're facing connection problems while accessing gmail via imap, the crash is likely just a side-effect.
prior to the 1st crash report i installed claws-mail-dbg after following claws wiki http://www.claws-mail.org/faq/index.php/Debugging_Claws apt-cache policy claws-mail claws-mail-dbg claws-mail: Installed: 3.9.3-1 Candidate: 3.9.3-1 Version table: *** 3.9.3-1 0 500 http://debian.solydxk.com/production/ testing/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status claws-mail-dbg: Installed: 3.9.3-1 Candidate: 3.9.3-1 Version table: *** 3.9.3-1 0 500 http://debian.solydxk.com/production/ testing/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status i don't have any connection problems, right now i am using a fiber line that has been running without any problems. i have claws configured to fecth email every 10min, and i never seen it crash when updating my accounts.
> i installed claws-mail-dbg You would need to install the debug package for *every* library that Claws Mail uses. As you can see in the stacktrace, the truncated parts you show are outside Claws Mail code. > i don't have any connection problems, right now i am using a fiber line that > has been running without any problems. The IMAP connection to a Google Mail server can be interrupted/lost, too, for various reasons.

> how can i know what libs is claws using? > ldd *something* ? For example. But since you want to figure out which Debian packages the libraries are included in, you would need to query you package database for the package names. At Fedora one would simply run "debuginfo-install claws-mail", and that would install all -debuginfo packages with the help of a package dependency resolver. > > The IMAP connection to a Google Mail server can be interrupted/lost, > > too, for >various reasons. > > i understand that, but i guess the problem is not there, weeks ago when > gmail went down claws never crashed. Well, then it would be even more important to generated full/detailed backtraces and also find out the steps how to reproduce the crash. I am not a Claws Mail developer, just somebody who observed incoming problem reports at Fedora, and IMAP access together with GMail is Claws Mail's weak(est) spot for a very long time. It's not the only problem, however. Sometimes users are impatient when waiting for an IMAP action (facing a server connection timeout, for instance) and repeat the same mouse-clicks, which "sometimes" also manages to crash Claws Mail because of a race condition somewhere. Interrupting an active IMAP session (by going offline or stopping the network in Network Manager) is one way to crash Claws Mail, not reliably, but as a demonstration that something in that area is unstable. That's why I've pointed at bug 3089 comment 2 and the other tickets linked there. If you think you're facing an entirely different problem, more details will be needed.
