Bug 2725

The backtrace is useless as it comes from striped binaries. 

Read http://www.claws-mail.org/faq/index.php/Debugging_Claws and try to provide a useful backtrace. A description of how this happened would be also appreciated.

After clicking on the button to get the new mail from the internet (removed from the server site). Mail is downloaded but unreadable because the program shutdown.

gdb claws-mail
Reading symbols from /usr/bin/claws-mail...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
(gdb) run

Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"?

Quit anyway? (y or n) y

downgrading severity because this only happens to you. Please attach a useful backtrace as requested in comment #1

running claws-mail in gdb

Under Archlinux, the version of claws-mail I used was 3.8.1 from pacman. The installation from archlinux AUR is wrong to (bad PKGBUILD ?? huh?). I used  Installed 3.8.1cvs35 directly from claws-mail site instead: the bug disappeared.
