If the last thing you can see before it crashes is the IMAP syncing
routine, have you tried to disable this account?

So the problem seems to be under your user's profile (have you tried to
reset/restore it? What DE are you running?) or you're having problems
with a specific account settings (it happens when you add any type of
account -pop3, imap, local mailbox- or just crashes with one of them?).

It sounds like one of the Murphy's Laws: "a program never crashes when
you run it in debug mode" ;-(
