Does refrigeration kill mango seeds?

[Kona400]

Has anyone sprouted mango seeds after refrigerating them?  I like to eat mango cold but I also want to sprout the seed for rootstock.  I didn't really pay attention last year but some seeds did not sprout and some were weak.  I would expect variability from any type of seed so I do not know if they were bad seeds or if they were harmed some other way.  Any info would be appreciated.

The mango seeds are not hurt by refrigeration as long as they don't freeze. Best to keep them in produce section of fridge were temperatures are highest.

What is the best way to store mango seeds from this season Harvest for next Spring's planting?
How long is the viability window?

I start my seeds for rootstock now in 3 gallon pots. Last year I never watered them and they
were fine and graftable this Spring/Summer. I had them under a pine tree and my 34 F night
didn't bother them but I lost some small mangos in the ground that weren't prorected in my yard.
