I cannot find any records in my logs of enigmail being updated in the 
last 6 months (and the problem does not go back further than that)

I can see, however, Icedove being updated twice:
2013-Oct-18	icedove:amd64 (17.0.7-1~deb7u1, 17.0.9-1~deb7u1)
2013-Nov-18	icedove:amd64 (17.0.9-1~deb7u1, 17.0.10-1~deb7u1)

Yes, the button is still there. It is the "Decrypt" button (Decrypt or 
verify the message with OpenPGP), I think same as when you click the 
"OpenPGP menu" -> "Decrypt/Verify"

no, I have only single account set up for IMAP.
