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.

jvp.
