Maybe once a week for me.

Have you sent the crash logs to CTM?

You might be able to make the crash reproduce by turning on some OS X
debug features.  Open Terminal and paste in the following:

export MallocPreScribble=1
export MallocScribble=1
export MallocGuardEdges=1
export MallocStackLogging=1
open /Applications/PowerMail.app

6.0 Crashing

2009-01-06 Thread Alan Harper 
Hi

PM 6 is crashing on me a few times a week. I can't discover any pattern
to the crashes, but they are usually (> 50%) followed by a 6-minute
reindexing when I relaunch PM. It makes it difficult to respond quickly
to emails!

Has anyone else found this? Any thoughts on how to minimize crashing?

Alan

PS, FWIW, I had similar problems with PM 5. I have since reinstalled my
entire system, and upgraded to PM 6. It appears that PM 6 crashes less
often than 5, but not significantly so.
