Well, I did try that, but had no problems at all, so I decided to trawl through the profile removing my configurations a few at a time to try to narrow down the problem. It eventually became apparent that the problem stops if I turn off my proxy and let Thunderbird connect to the Internet directly. I suppose it could be one of two things: either a problem with Thunderbird, or a problem with my proxy. The proxy in question is a fairly standard squid setup running on my network to cache files rather than as the only means for machines on the LAN to view web pages. Here are the shortest steps I've found to reproduce: 1: Create a new profile 2: Add RSS News and Blogs account 3: Choose Manage Subscriptions -> Add 4: Enter URL http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/technology/rss.xml (for example) 5: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Connection -> Connection Settings -> Manual Proxy Configuration 6: Enter proxy details (I use proxy.winterwolf.co.uk port 8080 as a standard HTTP proxy, but this is not available for use form outside my LAN. If you need to check this, do get in touch privately and I'll make arrangements to give you access) 7: Read a few articles Interestingly, after this initial setup, it took four messages before Thunderbird crashed. Hopefully, this helps a bit more in locating the bug. Please do let me know if there is anything else I can do to help get things tracked down. All the best, -Dave.
