Thank you for your prompt reply, I was about to post here.  I neglected to add
that the problem has only been cropping up since I upgraded to Claws 3.8.0.  

However, in a sense you're right.  when running from the command line, every
crash was accompanied with a message saying "IMAP: parse error."  Once this
message appeared, the program would hang.  I managed to address this by
upgrading dovecot to version 2.0, clearing out all indexes and caches, and
moving out most of the old messages to a separate IMAP account.  Now it seems
to be working smoothly. 

As such it seems like the bug,if there is such, is a result of Claws failing to
gracefully handle IMAP errors.  I am changing the status of this to Resolved
now but perhaps this can be considered in future.
