No there haven't been. ...

Oh?

The only package changes which took place immediately before the
reported problem appeared were the installation of pdftk and its
dependencies.

So there have been!  Seems like a good place to start looking.
You're positive no config files have been altered despite these
updates/upgrades?

After three hours of experimentation with the five accounts I have in
my Icedove email client I have concluded that the problem is caused by
a few -- very few actually -- corrupted folders.  I can't do anything
with those; I cannot move emails to or from them.  I can however still
read those emails.  I suppose that I could delete the entire folder,
but I want to keep the emails in them for future reference.

The one major problem concerns the generic inbox for one of the
accounts -- anything I try to do with  emails in that inbox causes
Icedove to crash.  I have consequently filtered all emails to that
account to other folders.  In the settings for that account I could
not find anything different from the other four.  The inboxes for
those accounts work as they should.

Thanks for your help.

Ken,

have you tried "safe-mode" yet?
A few times when I was really stuck I just created a new profile, re-created the various accounts, and copied all "old" emails over. That usually solved any strange behaviour for me.
