Kernel Panic and app crash are two different things.  You should send
both panic.log and crash log (trim down to the latest incident log
instead of the entire log for the file size sake) to CTMDev.  If you
send them to me privately, I will give half-baked educated guess.  I am
sure there are more qualified people on this list.  If you know how to
trim the long log down to needed portion, others may not mind posting it here.

KP is very low level.  It is hard to imagine PM could cause it, but I
don't have IntelMac to know how things are.  The fact you get KP when
using PM might mean you have bad RAM module, and the bad area isn't
accessed until PM is running.  This is in fact a common KP cause.

You also seems to have unstable mail database.  Have you tried repairing
it, or tried with new one?
