Description:
Description of the crash:

Using evolution as normal, selecting a mail folder I was interested in,
evolution crashes.

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. Start evolution (recent CVS build)
2. Wait for evolution to finish checking for new messages
3. Select a mailbox, sometimes (a few times a day, with different
mailboxes), it crashes.

Expected Results:

Mailbox is selected, message list shown.

How often does this happen?

Sometimes (3-4 times a day).

Additional Information:

Backtrace suggests something attempting to dereference a NULL pointer.


Debugging Information:

Backtrace was generated from '/opt/gnome/bin/evolution-1.5'

Comment 3 Ross Golder 2004-04-01 05:52:35 UTC

Ignore my useless patch. Looking at #52935, it is indeed a duplicate
of this bug. I'll close this report and track the other one.
