	Just fast questions.

	1. Could you build your test program with debug support and without
optimisations, and install debug symbols for all libraries you use?
(Including gtk, glib, tinymail).
	2. Even better, build tinymail yourself making sure you build it
without optimisations (in autogen.sh --enable-debug, and also you can
set CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to "-g3 -O0".
	3. Run the program with valgrind and gdb once you have your program
built with debug and without optimisations.

	Maybe you can throw some additional light to the conditions you get the
crash.
