Isn't there a plan to migrate back to Thunderbird anyway, just as 
Iceweasel has been replaced with firefox?

I wonder if stretch has thunderbird packages? (no time to check right 
now)

It looks like it's currently in Sid. Has anyone tried it?

https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=names&keywords=thunderbird

I'm using a mixed testing/sid system and have also experienced such sudden
deaths of icedove with version 45.6.0.
A few hours ago I did the transition to thunderbird. It went really smooth by
upgrading the iceweasel*/iceowl* packages (it makes a backup of ~/.icedove and
generates a new ~/.thunderbird from that), and after using some
unmarkauto/markauto and purge commands there are now only the
thunderbird*/lightning* packages on the system.
In my lxpanel config I had to replace icedove.desktop by thunderbird.desktop,
the firefox Application "mailto" was adapted automatically.
All runs smooth so far.

Regards,
jvp.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It would be good to know if it
remains stable after several days. I just applied the change suggested
by Benjamin in another message in this thread.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Meanwhile I had the first crash of thunderbird. After updating some gtk- and
glib related stuff I'm trying it again. If thunderbird still crashes, I surely
apply the setting of the config variable
"layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled" (OMTC) which is enabled for faster and
smoother composition.

Since I suffered another crash of thunderbird, I now flipped
"layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled" to "false". No more crashes so far.

No more crashes after 10+ days. This option is the devil himself. :)

And you have not updated icedove/thunderchicken in the past 10 days I
assume.  If you have, how can you tell that this was the fix and was not
in the update?

Well, it's also crashing like hell here (45.6.0-3)

I think I fixed the random Icedove crashes I was experiencing on Jessie
by setting layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled to false in Icedove's
config editor.

Although crashes continue to occur in my case, when using this option
Icedove seems more stable than before.

Interesting. Why do you think this helps?  How long are you running
without crashes?

It's been weeks, maybe even months now.  I found this suggestion
somewhere on the web after searching for something like 'random
thunderbird crash'.  I have no idea what behavior this setting controls,
but setting it to false hasn't removed any visible functionality as far
as I can see.

After changing the setting I noticed one feature was missing -- the 
ability of Icedove to suddenly make my desktop appear while I was trying 
to read messages!

That's why I returned the setting to its default. I like surprises.

As they say, one man's bug is another man's feature :).

+1. I had terrible problems with icedove segfaults on sid last year and 
this option was the only fix that worked for me. I am still using it.

Kind regards,

Three Debian testing systems here with same issue. This config editor 
setting fixed the crashing on all three systems. I reversed the setting 
a few weeks ago and have had a couple of Icedove crashes only on the 
most heavily used system. This is a rarer occurrence than it used to be.

The crashes occur *only* when I have the message pane open and am moving 
through the message list. (I always use the keyboard arrow keys for 
this, so don't know if same would happen with mouse.)
