@filipdns have you run Valgrind on your application to spot for memory leaks?

All those structs and pointers are claiming for something bad to happen if not treated well :-)

@Pablo-J.-Rogina
Hello, sorry I don't know Valgrind and I don't know what you mean about "All those structs and pointers are claiming for something bad to happen if not treated well "

May be do you have simplest solution to send email with Qt?

Kind regards

@filipdns
Have you run your program under the debugger and looked at the traceback when whatever you mean by "app crash" occurs? Are you under Linux with core dumps? That is always by far the best place to start from.

If no core dumps and you can't run under debugger (e.g. it runs unattended overnight), what about putting in extensive but basic logging lines (to file) to see where it's going?
