Hi, thanks for the quick answer. First, I'd like to apologize but after 2 or 3 hangs, I got mad and already saw icedove going in this state into stable, and I possibly overreacted a bit (I'd like to stay at etch once stabilized).
Anyway, because I can't reproduce the problem on demand, I've done the following: - compress the folders of high throughput (inbox, sent, etc...). I have 350 folders (and 5GB) of emails, so doing all those by hand would be a nightmare. - remove all msf files - remove panacea.dat - do a search in order to rebuild all summaries If I still get the problem, I'll let you know before end of the week. If I don't come back to you till Monday, you can assume that I'm fine. I hope it's a fair proposal. One more thing I remembered having forgotten to tell while doing all this :-[ : my "Mail" folder is on a separate FAT32 partition, in order to be able to share my folders with Windows (dual-boot). I know, it's not really supported, but till now it worked good (and it's not yet proven that it's the reason for the issue :-) ). So or so, you'll get more from me before end of the week.
