Best as I can tell there seems to be some kinds of email that seamonkey on
win32 (version 2.15 - 2.25beta) is allergic to.
When receiving them, it freezes.
If there is a folder with the email, it hangs or crashes upon startup.
I have many many folders and gigs of email and seamonkey usually consumes 2gb
upon startup for a few minutes while it presumably tries to read all these
folders.
I have to spend hours finding and removing the folder and then the message,
some times I also have to do that on the mail system as well.
Is there any way to not go through this enumeration or summarization upon
startup?
One way would be to move most of your mail out of your e-mail account!!
Each day, I drag my e-mail into one of about ten folders (at the same
level as the inbox). Then, each year, I move all these sub-folders from
the e-mail account into similar sub-folders under the Local Folders account.
That way, SeaMonkey is not having to re-index years and years worth of
e-mails, day after day after day!

95% of my mail is not in my inbox.
Are you saying that Local Folders is treated differently then folders rooted
under an email account?
Yes, I think SM only indexes those accounts that are "open" when it is
started up. If the Local Folders is closed (i.e. just shows as Local
Folders), it doesn't get re-indexed.
Another possibility would be to Compact your folders. When you move an
e-mail out of the inbox into another folder, it's not really moved but
copied into the other folder. Then, if you File->Empty Trash *and*
File->Compact Files, all the space used by the copied e-mails is re-claimed.
