instead use:

$ icedove -g

Please install libglib2.0-0-dbg, libgtk2.0-0-dbg and icedove-dbg and get
a backtrace. See http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace for more
information

Hi, OK. I installed libglib2.0-0-dbg, libgtk2.0-0-dbg and icedove-dbg
then followed the instructions, but gdb won't run it.
