I'm not sure that Icedove works right when it comes to checking, receiving and telling you about new mail. For example, I have a filter sending all d-u mail to a folder. When new mail comes, quite frequently it doesn't mark that folder as having new mail, when in fact it does. It also reverts to showing things in unthreaded view mode from time to time. Why it does these things I do not know, and no, I have not submitted a bug report. They are only slightly annoying issues, not really bugs.
