Right. First thing I did.
Sorry about any misunderstanding about names. When I understood earlier
in this conversation that iceape is no longer supported and has security
vulnerabilities the need to move to an alternative was clear. My current
pc is Wheezy and I just installed Jessie on another machine. I thought
the suggestion was to switch to Seamonkey so I ran apt-cache search
seamonkey on both machines. On Wheezy the search found iceape - The
Iceape Internet Suit and on Jessie it found Icedove. A further search
found Icedove on Wheezy which resolves the issue.

Jessie it found icedove
