Description Frank 2010-06-03 21:13:13 UTC 
The software (used under Ubuntu 10.04) crashes without warning, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes later. When restarted the last few read mails appear as unread.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it.
Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

Please ask your distribution why bug-buddy is not popping up when evolution crashes.
Comment 2 Frank 2010-06-04 11:18:29 UTC 
I installed bug-buddy and started it using bug-buddy --evolution  but i get no screen with the program, or stack trace. The bug-buddy does also not pop up when evolution crashes. 

I have now noticed that Evolution seems to crash when I use Firefox with evolution open and when Firefox navigates over webpages using shockwave apps, for instance in farmville.com. 

What else can I do?  I am no Linux (Ubuntu) expert, but willing to help...
Comment 3 Akhil Laddha 2010-06-04 11:34:42 UTC 
I don't think you need to start as bug-buddy --evolution, if you start evolution normally, bug buddy should pop up automatically when evolution crashes.

If it doesn't work, you can start evolution in gdb and provide us traces.
see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces/Details#gdb-not-yet-running for details
about how to do this
