I am talking about the button in the top menu, next to "write", "reply", 
"forward". It might not be there by default, but can be added by 
right-clicking on the bar and selecting "customize"

the problem is:
1) sometimes icedove asks for my passphrase on start and also throughout 
my session in random intervals
2) icedove asks for my passphrase everytime I select an encrypted 
message in my sent folder

especially annoying behavior is when I am going through my sent folder, 
every time I hit an encrypted message a window pops up and asks me for 
my passphrase

passphrase prompting in general is of course a good think. But only when 
I tell to decrypt/sign a message, not automatically
