Thunderbird crashes constantly on opening

[wsmwk]

This is not a rhetorical question ...

So at Help | Troubleshooting | "Crash Reports" there are no entries under "Report ID"?

Sorry, but what you wrote doesn't help us.

Finally I think I have a resolution to TB constant crashing.

Under EDIT, Server Setting,
there is a setting to check for messages at start up
and there is a setting to check for messages every X minutes set by the user.

I unchecked these settings so that I now have to manually click and retrieve messages.

This seemed to have tamed the crashing.
I've been at this new cfg for 1/2 day now and have not experienced a crash.

I will update this post after a few more days experience with these new settings.

Since editing my TB to manually retrieve messages, crashes have been reduced to extreme minimum levels.
Stil don't know WHY it crashes, but when it does, it happens at the exact moment I click on a new message.

Since we don't have crash reports we can only speculate what you seeing. https://mzl.la/2cgBl8C are two possibilities.
