Hello,
Many peope (not all) have problems because Icedove crashes since an
update last year. Icedove on my laptop with Debian stable crashes random
about one time per week.
I have many customers with Debian stable and oldstable. Most of them
have problems with a crashing Icedove. I have also workstations here
where Icedove has never crashed.
What I want to ask, is what the latest situation is when using Stretch
(testing). I know a few people who are using Stretch and they all told
me they have no problems with a crashing Icedove.
What is your experience?
With regards,

I get random ID crashes, pretty well daily, but no consistently
identifiable cause. It really seems to be occurring very randomly, I'll
just be reading messages when suddenly *pop* it dies like a soap bubble
on a Christmas tree, no error msg, no prior indication of instability,
etc.; Just sudden, random crashing. It generally comes right back up
without issue and functions normally afterwards. Thankfully, it rarely
does it while I'm composing a message, that would REALLY annoy me, and I
would likely have already appeared here seeking a solution to the
problem, but since, so far, it hasn't caused me any real loss, but
rather just minor annoyance, I haven't mentioned it, until now.
I am using Jessie, Icedove v. 45.6.0 at the moment, on AMD64; My system
is otherwise generally stable (with the exception of occasional
unexplained hiccoughs in the sound system, for which I have sought help
on the list, and which I can resolve with a reboot...again, annoying,
but not a high priority issue).
