After a fresh install of sid,
I tried to set-up Icedove.
The program starts and show the graphical window to set a new account.
However this windows does not work, in particular I noticed that the
usual gtk-spinner
indicating that the program is looking for possible e-mail sites does
not show up,
and no button or entry field is working.
The only thing that one can do is clicking of the main window cross to
end the program.
What I did was then downgrade to the previous version, setup my account
and all worked fine.
After that a made a dist-upgrade and all went fine too, since the
account was already known to Icedove.
when I installed Icedove I also was notified that iceowl-extension was
going to be installed, too,
but a did not care too much, and I really don't know if this is my apt
setting or there is a dependence.
Should I guess, I suspect that is the starting form for a new set-up
that is somewhat wrong,
but I cannot help more.
best regards
Gigi

I can confirm this behavior.
As a temporary workaround I downgraded to 31.8.0-1~deb8u1
and after setting up my account I upgraded again and
all worked flawlessy
can you please better explain what you have tried to do? Without a
better knowledge which component is provoking this issue we won't fix
this.
Have you started Icedove without any plugins in safe-mode? Wich plugins
you have normally installed?
Did this issue happen if you have only installed the package icedove
itself, no iceowl-extension or calendar-google-provider package
installed.
What is the outcome if you start icedove from a terminal (with/without)
extensions?
Which desktop environment you are using?
Please tell us more about the circumstances on your system.
Regards
Carsten
