I found the problem and it was me. In that Icedove menu at the left, 
there's a toggle at the top for All Folders, Recent Folders, etc. and I 
had somehow accidentally set it to Recent instead of All, which explains 
why the Trash icon appeared after I emptied the Trash folder. Problem 
solved. Thanks for your efforts. Sorry to bother.
