Distribution: Mandrakelinux release 10.1 (Official) for i586
Package: Evolution
Severity: critical
Version: GNOME2.6.2 unspecified
Gnome-Distributor: MandrakeSoft
Synopsis: Crash at strtup
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Miscellaneous
Bugzilla-Version: unspecified
BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.6.1.1)
Description:
Description of the crash:
Evolution sometimes crashes right after startup. It seems like it has to
do with taking action while Evolution is updating the mail folders.
sometimes it crashes without any action.
The restart button appears. pressing the restart starts Evolution
without a problem (unless I take action).


Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. run Evolution
2. change folder or click send/receive while the folders are being
updated.
3. 

Expected Results:


How often does this happen?
almost every time.

Additional Information:
I have been using evolution on Mandrake 10.1 for awhile and this is new.
It has never happened before.

Comment 1 Elijah Newren 2005-05-08 14:37:13 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.
Comment 2 ronen 2005-05-09 07:44:46 UTC
This time Evolution freezes. I am not sure if it is related to the crashes.

here is the stack trace geberated by gdb.

Comment 3 ronen 2005-05-25 13:20:37 UTC
Anything new here?
Comment 4 Farzaneh Sarafraz 2005-07-21 13:21:50 UTC
I can't reproduce with gnome-2.10 evolution-2.2.2-5. please reopen if you still
can reproduce it.
Comment 5 ronen 2005-07-21 13:47:25 UTC
It was impossibel to work like that. I replace my OS with the latest Mandriva
10.2, as fresh install, and resolved the problem.
