I had MailMate Version 2.0BETA (6103) crash when parsing a message. I had no idea that was what happened, but finally remember one can start MailMate from the terminal window and get a better error message:

$ ./MailMate --debug

Problems while parsing reported for one or more messages. Details can be found in
 /tmp/mailmate_logs/mailmate_parser_problems.log

Segmentation fault: 11
$

As you can see the error message did point at /tmp/mailmate_logs/mailmate_parser_problems.log which complained on non-ascii characters in a message that otherwise where claimed to be 7bit.

Unfortunately I do not have a copy of that file :-(

Luckily I have access to the IMAP server so I could remove the email message from the imap server and then start MailMate again. I have the message that I removed from the server if that helps.

Weird, isn't it?
