Description cm 2015-09-20 19:04:40 UTC 
After a standard install and setting up for Gmail POP, importing any mbox from a Thunderbird profile causes a crash on completion.

Can you provide an example mbox file with which Claws Mail crashes?

Also, does the issue still happen with Claws Mail 3.13.0?

Importing the same files under 3.13.0 works fine. I noticed a fix relating to double notifications and I wonder if this could have been fixed by that. The crashes occur when the import has completed without error and the notification pops up, always saying "2 new messages" regardless of how many were imported.

I'd have to reinstall Thunderbird and slim down an mbox file to get one small enough to upload. Let me know if you still want it.

If you can always crash CM 3.12.0 with that mbox file, but never CM 3.13.0, I do not really need it. :) But we need to make sure that 3.13.0 is really unaffected.
Comment 4 cm 2015-10-20 12:37:49 UTC 
Ok. I've tried all the mbox files I have on both versions and the crash occurs every time with 3.12.0 but never with 3.13.0. I suspect it's unrelated to the import function, rather something to do with notification.
Comment 5 Andrej Kacian 2015-10-20 13:13:11 UTC 
That's good news. But what if you unload the notification plugin on 3.12.0?

No response, looks like the crash is indeed fixed. Feel free to reopen if that is not the case.
