[arch-general] Does Evolution or Claws work for other Arch Linux users?

Hi,
both MUAs Evolution and Claws are broken on my machine. I tried to at
least work around the Evolution issue, but this was a naive
miscalculation.
I ensured that icu 64 is available for other apps and that ico 63 is
available to build and run evolution and that the sonames are linked
against icu 63 [1].
I check that icu 63 from an old package isn't broken [2].
After checking out Evolution 3.32.4 and increasing the pkgrel to 1.1 [3], I
tried building evolution-data-server and got
[rocketmouse at archlinux extra-x86_64]$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: evolution-data-server 3.32.4-1.1 (Fri 02 Aug 2019 04:41:43 PM CEST)

Aborting...
Obviously it's not that simple, as just providing 2 versions of icu ;).
The reasons that I try to build Evolution 3.32.4 against icu 63 are
1. a bug that prevents to access the contacts, see
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/62317 .
2. I'm using the downgraded packages of version 3.32.0-1 against the
provided icu 63 libs. This works without issues, if I write emails in
(broken) English. Unfortunately sent emails containing umlauts and/or
the "Eszett" show "??", instead of umlauts and/or the "Eszett", while
editing the message with those "special character" works. Btw. the
stored emails still contain the umlauts, just received mails are
missing them.
3. Claws on Arch Linux is one of those apps that suffers from the well
known "!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost" issue, IOW my alternative MUA
claws is completely broken, since it crashes all the times. The same
version(s) build against dependencies of a very old Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
release is (were) stable, using identical build options.
Claws upstream know about it, see
"Walter Lapchynski 2019-05-05 07:06:45 CEST
I just wanted to add a note that there's a similar bug in Ubuntu that is
affecting PCManFM. It seems there are several other bugs against other
packages that all feature the same behavior: crashing with the
"Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed" error. The other
thing they have in common, like Claws: GTK2. There were applications
(e.g SpaceFM, LibreOffice) that also had GTK3 support and when compiled
with it, worked without problem.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcmanfm/+bug/1782984
That said, I'm pretty sure GTK2 is to blame, but not sure how to
actually solve it or where exactly to look to find the answers."

FWIW Evolution upstream also knows about the Evolution icu issue, see
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2019-August/msg00032.html .
