I've been using s-c since at least 0.6.x and virtually always close it with the Close button... s-c handles this method quite well... heck, it even handles Ctl+c reasonably gracefully... this is not likely your problem... I would suggest running either "strace sylpheed" or "sylpheed --debug" to make sure all the .sylpheed/* files are not erroring...
