I have a Lenovo R61 laptop with Squeeze newly installed. The version of Icedove installed is 10.0.11-1, which is apparently the latest available in Squeeze.
When I open Icedove -- or try to -- the main window opens, followed by a smaller window asking for the password for one of my e-mail accounts. That is as far as I can get; I cannot enter the password nor cancel entering it. The only way to close it is to hit the 'X' in the upper right corner of the screen, whereupon after a few seconds delay I get the window saying that Icedove is not responding and giving me the choice of continuing with it or terminating it. As this phenomenon immobilizes the whole computer I have no choice but to terminate. I also tried opening in safe mode but it made no difference.
Another phenomenon occurs whenever I install packages with apt-get. At the end of the process lines like the following appear:
-------------------------------------
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
cryptsetup: WARNING: target sda8_crypt has a random key, skipped
gzip: stdout: No space left on device
E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686
dpkg: error processing initramfs-tools (--configure):

Processing triggers for menu ...
Processing triggers for python support ...
configured to not write apport reports
Errors were encountered while processing:
initramfs-tools
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
---------------------------------------------------
sda8_crypt is the /tmp directory which is secured with a random key.
The rest I do not understand, except that it indicates to me that whenever I run apt-get install or dist-upgrade something is not working properly.
All comments, suggestions and help gratefully received.

You've run out of disk space for the /boot filesystem. Look at the

output of "df -h". Check for old kernel packages that might be filling
up /boot, and uninstall packages corresponding to older kernels that you
are no longer using.
I've no idea about the message mentioning sda8_crypt. Do you always get
this message, or is it new?
