I did all that Davide but the server doesn't crash with the debug
executable..!?


This one crashes:
9774140 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel   352176 May 20 15:36 XMail

This one does not:
12648537 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1059437 May 20 15:43 XMail


I will try again a couple of time and will get back to you if I manage to
get a debug XMail.core.

I remember (as usual) FreeBSD latest version had some problem. I don't 
remember exactly who reported this.
Lets try:

$ setenv XMAIL_DEBUG 1
$ setenv OSTYPE FreeBSD
$ gmake -f Makefile.bsd

Then run XMail from inside a shell:

$ ulimit -c 20000
$ XMail --debug -Md ...

This should generate a core file. Then:

$ gdb -c PATH-TO-CORE PATH-TO-XMAIL

Send that over, and do not delete the core file and the XMail binary.
Of course, no other XMail instance should be running while doing so.
