We are using Thunderbird as our mail software and have for years. We have also donated regularly to Mozilla. We are using Thunderbird both on MacOs Monterey and Windows 10.

We can restart Thunderbird and it will open instantly and we can continue using it until next crash. We use English and Icelandic dictionaries. Else we use just Addon Compatibility Check extension.

We can't imagine why this is happening. We like Tunderbird and we do use folders and subfolders for sorting our emails. We have gone through "Repair folder" on all the folders we use.

We need to find out what is causing this steadily crashes or another email software with the hope that we can work without this daily problem.

Looking forward to your reply at your earliest.

There are various crash signatures, none of which point to a particular cause. There is a discussion here that indicates issues with Unified folders. Are you using Unified view?

You might want to test with a new profile with one account. Help/More Troubleshooting, about:profiles, to create and manage profiles. The original profile would be unaffected, and could be launched from about:profiles.
