   I also encountered this problem yesterday. I lost the email I was 
writing. I was doing several search in different folder. I was very
surprised since Sylpheed is generally very stable.

   However I couldn't reproduce the crash. I compiled Sylpheed myself
without specific option in ./configure.

   Perhaps it should be possible to intercept the SEGV, to backup 
the edited email(s) in a temporary file(s) or in draft folder ?
