Chosen solution

Thunderbird + Mac Sierra 10.12.3 is currently a bad combination. Even worse if you have a NEW Mac with the touchbar.

1. Try System Preferences > Security & Privacy and select the Privacy tab. Select that Thunderbird does not access your Mac contacts. Please tell us, does that help?

2. Please post your crash IDs here (in text form) so I can correlate your example to the bug report. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mozilla-crash-reporter-tb#w_viewing-crash-reports

looks like disabling contact-access helped

yeah, bp-8f15ba62-0377-4916-9935-28fa92170116 is also the sleep-related crash.

Some users report that 50.0b doesn't crash. YOu can get it from https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/50.0b3/mac/en-US/Thunderbird%2050.0b3.dmg

Do you find that 50.0b works for you?
