I set the severity to important because this issue is currently only
reported once.

What happen is you restart Icedove with the option "-safe-mode" from a

What plugins do you have running?
Are this plugins all installed from the Debian archives or have you some
plugins manually installed.
The same things happened. The only plug-ins I was using were the ones I'd
installed trying to fix the problem. They are all currently disabled.
You didn't answered the other questions ...
And one more ... did this happen if you create a fresh new profile?
Please backup your old settings before!
I was not running any plugins when the problem first occurred. I
installed some plugins that were recommended by some sites as a
potential fix. They were Folderpane Tools and Maximize Message Pane.
They didn't fix the problem so I disabled them. I got them through the
Get Add-ons panel.
I created a new profile and it worked, which told me the problem was
with the settings. Unfortunately it was past midnight when I got the
folder pane back and I don't remember exactly what worked.
However, it went blank again following a restart of icedove. This time
the pane was recovered using one of the more usual fixes. This problem
recurs every time I start icedove. I fix it by setting the View |
Folders to unread, restart icedove then change the View | Folders back
to all.
Well, I've already upgraded to Sid for Iecdove to try to fix the problem.
Should I revert to Jessie's version?
Well, I mostly run versions from unstable/experiemntal and never had
such problems. So testing a version from unstable is even better, if
a problem happen we will try to fix it in one of the next versions.
Unfortunately the version I'm running right now is from sid. It's slow,
as the message I get on the error console warns it might be.
Are there bugs inside the Mozilla bugtracker about this behavior you
describe? If there is really a issue than there should be other users
that reported such problems. It would be really helpful if you check the
bugtracker on Mozilla and provide a link to a upstream reported bug.
No. The issue however is a known one from earlier versions. I'm
surprised to see it resurfacing.
