I put a bug in bugzilla last night about this.  It hasn't worked for a
while, but I haven't heard a whole lot from Ximian about it.

The latest CVS (last night) doesn't crash for me.

This was discussed on IRC yesterday, and there is at least one bug in
bugzilla.  Hopefully this will get fixed soon.

Latest CVS doesn't crash for me.

I can't check this one, so I don't know.

Ximian has mentioned many times on the list that NNTP support is not a
priority before 1.0, so I guess it's not surprising that it doesn't
work.  However, I believe someone is doing some work on it.

I haven't crashed much recently.  The recent CVS has been quite stable
and nice for me.  How recent is your oaf?

I haven't seen this, although I only use the INBOX folder on my IMAP
account.
