When TB starts up it *creates* a .icedove directory even though there is a valid .thunderbird directory. This seems to be an error according of the migration docs that I can find. Then when I shutdown and startup again I get a big message about a migration problem because there is both and .icedove and .thunderbird directory. So, I delete the .icedove directory and it starts up fine and correctly, but creates an .icedove directory! As they say on TV, wash, rinse, repeat!!

I am running Debian Stretch and TB 52.8.0

Is this version from the Debian repository? I am guessing it is as the "made their own" icedove and the maintainer of the repository may well be the one you need to contact.

Alternatively you could try installing with a download from the Mozilla site.
