The need for disabling extensions depends on the crash szenario.
Current problems are not related to any plugins I believe, otoh running
Icedove with disabled extensions make it clear the crashes happen inside
Icedove.
So appending '--safe-mode' to the options of icedove-bin is just fine.
For example with the following comand.
LANG= /usr/lib/icedove/run-mozilla.sh -g /usr/lib/icedove/icedove-bin
--safe-mode 2>&1 | tee /tmp/icedove-gdb-$(apt-cache show icedove | grep Version
| awk '{ print $2 }')_$(date +%F_%T).log
