can you please check, which version of thunderbird you are running?`And please also check where it is located.

I had some prblems too, with the build of mozilla.org - switching back to the ubuntu build solved my problems...

So would you please check where

/usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird

and

/usr/bin/thunderbird

link to? If mozilla-thunderbird links to some place in /opt/ try the other link to the official ubuntu build.

/usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird and /usr/bin/thunderbird are both links - can you check if both link to

/usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird?

Have you tried a new profile? Start 'thunderbird -P' to get the profile manager and create a new profile - as you use imap, that shouldn't be a big problem. If this doesn't crash, I'd say it *might* be a problem with an addon (so btw: which addons have you installed in thunderbird?)

Thanks for you answer, maybe is an addon I have need to install the new
version of lightning 0.9 using the apt store

sudo apt-get install lightning-extension

mosses@mosses-laptop:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2009-05-03 14:25 /usr/bin/mozilla-thunderbird ->
../lib/thunderbird/thunderbird

mosses@mosses-laptop:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/thunderbird
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 2009-05-03 14:25 /usr/bin/thunderbird ->
../lib/thunderbird/thunderbird

When I have problem with my thunderbird just run below command.
thunderbird -safe-mode

This command always work fine.

Regards

well if safe-mode works i really seems to be an addon...

Try to export your calendar, and create another profile. Try the addon from the mozilla addon page:
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/2313
and reimport your data.

HTH

btw: I can't see the gdb-thunderbird.log

please try a new profile, I think there is something messed up in your profile data.

Can you help with this problem?
