Sorry, I can't be more specific, but since my latest update to version 3.15.1 clawsmail crashes after a varying amount of time. Exit status is 253 and the last debug messages I get are: claws.c:102:Starting Claws Mail version Claws Mail 3.15.1-dirty utils.c:1817:using default rc_dir /home/xxx/.claws-mail main.c:2212:Using control socket /tmp/claws-mail-1000/629501002c97f7acecb640d8b4bfb401 main.c:2307:another Claws Mail instance is already running.
Please try running claws-mail from gdb: `gdb -ex run --args claws-mail --debug`, and when it crashes, use the gdb `bt full` command to get some post-mortem information about the context.

The attachment contains the last few output lines of stdout/stderr and the result of the gdb 'bt full' command (line 869). Below that are the last few seconds reported in the log file (it was running for many hours before the crash so I only included those last lines). Note that I didn't see any of those messages reported my OP, but that may be due to clawsmail being started with '--debug' I guess. As you might see from the output, I have three imap accounts and one news account (eternal september) with three subscribed news groups. My guess would be that the '[05:10:45] NNTP< 400 load at 24.06, try later' is causing clawsmail to misbehave. Sorry but some debug messages are in german I forgot to unset the LANG variable.

(In reply to comment #6) > updating from which version? I am not entirely sure. But Tumbleweed is a rolling distribution so I guess it must have been 3.15.0. This link https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/openSUSE:Factory/claws-mail?linkrev=base&rev=77 seems to confirm it.
your binaries are stripped, we need a backtrace with symbols. Probably you need to install claws-mail and libetpan debug packages with your package manager.
