I think I know why this is happen.
Since several versions we dont ship the default preference
'mail.shell.checkDefaultClient' with a value 'false'. I don't know why,
it's probably no once before got attraction on this.
You can disable this as default in the file /etc/icedove/pref/icedove.js
by adding the value
pref("mail.shell.checkDefaultClient", false);
or switch the check of by changing the setting within your user
settings.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/make-thunderbird-default-mail-client
We will probaly not fix this in the next Icedove version as we prepare
the de-branding of Icedove back to Thundebird.
After turning of the check you can safely remove the extra file in
~/.local/share/applications/userapp-Icedove-3UJNEY.desktop
and associations in
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
or
~/.config/mimeapps.list

Carsten
