What were you doing when the application crashed?
I get this crash everytime I press Send / Recieve. Most annoying.

Comment 1 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-10-05 17:02:17 UTC

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in determining the cause of the crash. Can you get us one with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.

I hope that's enough info :-).

I just saw I forgot "thread apply all".

Comment 5 Nafallo Bjälevik 2006-10-05 20:28:36 UTC

I just found out what caused this bug. I had no SMTP-server set for some unknown reason. It could have just telled me instead of crashing though :-P.

Comment 6 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-10-06 02:54:31 UTC

Uhm -- *no* SMTP server at all? Not even some random, possibly white-space only string? How have you been able to finish the wizard?

Anyway, thanks for the response and these great details, Christian. :)

Adjusting summary.

Comment 7 Nafallo Bjälevik 2006-10-06 13:43:46 UTC

No, it was completely empty, including the auth-info, TLS etc... I have no idea how they disappered since I haven't touched those settings in a _long_ time :-).

Comment 8 Karsten Bräckelmann 2006-10-06 16:08:06 UTC

Whoops, correcting Summary.

Hmm, complete empty should not even be possible, without manually editing the GConf stored settings. This one is up for the developers.

Comment 9 Akhil Laddha 2009-11-17 10:51:23 UTC

I don't get any crash in 2.28.1 or 2.29.2 while doing send/receive without smtp server.

Comment 10 André Klapper 2010-05-20 20:32:33 UTC

Closing as OBSOLETE.
If this still happens in a recent version please leave a comment.
