In my case, it turns out the problem is related to bad mail headers in
my mail spool file. I built thunderbird locally on my machine so I could
better debug the crash:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff39f5034 in nsMovemailService::GetNewMail (this=0x7fffd9f4ed40,
aMsgWindow=<optimized out>,
aUrlListener=<optimized out>, aMsgFolder=<optimized out>,
movemailServer=<optimized out>, aURL=<optimized out>)
at
/home/drewm/projects/thunderbird/thunderbird-15.0.1+build1/./mailnews/local/src/nsMovemailService.cpp:465
465 outputStream->Write(buffer.get(), buffer.Length(), &bytesWritten);
(gdb) print buffer
$1 = {<nsFixedCString> = {<nsCString> = {<nsACString_internal> = {
mData = 0x7fffffffafb8 "rom drewm Fri Oct 12 08:55:12 2012\n", mLength
= 36,
mFlags = 65553}, <No data fields>}, mFixedCapacity = 63,
mFixedBuf = 0x7fffffffafb8 "rom drewm Fri Oct 12 08:55:12 2012\n"},
mStorage = "rom drewm Fri Oct 12 08:55:12
2012\n\000\177\000\000@\r\245\323\377\177\000\000\224I\244\026\000\000\000\000\224I\244\026\000\000\000"}
(gdb) print outputStream
$2 = {<nsCOMPtr_base> = {mRawPtr = 0x0}, <No data fields>}
(gdb)
The mStorage line begins with "rom" instead of "from" and it appears
that outputStream is null in this case.
If I repair my mail spool and correct this header then Thunderbird
starts without crashing.

Title:
Thunderbird 15.0 crash with local Movemail account
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After upgrading to Thunderbird package 15.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 on Ubuntu
12.04.01 LTS 64bits, it keeps crashing at startup.
I use it with a local Movemail account. The problem is the same reported here
:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787605
Thunderbird started fine with an empty .thunderbird folder. After
configured a local Movemail account, it crashed and kept crashing at
startup.
It worked fine with Thunderbird 14.0
Running thunderbird -g gives :
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
