Geary crashes and, while repeatable, happens in a number of situations.
All crashes have the same message: 
"
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb4cfa8d0 in _IO_vfprintf_internal (s=0xbfffeb30, format=<optimized out>, 
    ap=0xbfffed2c "") at vfprintf.c:1642

Hi there, thanks for reporting the problem.

Is it still an issue for you? If so, can you obtain a backtrace of the crash and attach it to this bug? Follow the steps to produce the file "geary.gdb" as outlined here https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Geary/FAQ and attach it to this bug.

Same thing happening here with 0.11x in Ubuntu 16.04.

More info:

1. Not all IMAP Gmail folders are enabled. I disabled "All Mail" folder from Gmail web.

2. For me I can reproduce it immediately when I editing draft for my gmail account.
Comment 7 Michael Gratton 2016-06-15 23:22:31 UTC 
Hi Khurshid, thanks for the trace. This kind of looks like Bug 745165 - are you running a 32-bit OS?

If so, commenting out line 1272 in src/engine/imap-engine/imap-engine-minimal-folder.vala and recompiling may help.
Comment 8 Khurshid Alam 2016-06-16 04:42:51 UTC 
Yes. Its 32 bit os. 

Ok. That bug seems relevant. So I will be commenting on that bug from now on. Thanks.
Comment 9 Michael Gratton 2016-06-16 04:52:03 UTC 
That sounds like a plan, thanks.
