In about:config, I saw browser.cache.use_new_backend which comes with the following comment: Preference for switching the cache backend, can be changed freely at runtime 0 - use the old (Darin's) cache 1 - use the new cache back-end (cache v2) The default is 0, and I set it to 1. I was then able to compact my 8 IMAP accounts without crashing. BTW, how is Thunderbird 38 going to fix the problem? By switching to the new cache back-end?
