17.04 will be KMail 5.5.

More importantly, there is a fix for the "Retrieving folders" hang now: 
https://cgit.kde.org/akonadi.git/commit/?h=Applications/
16.12&id=d42f94701f38c26cf3439727b50ee73cf0d09bee

It will be available in 16.12.3 which is due in March. It should apply on 
16.12.2 without major issues if you want to backport the patch to your 
packaging.

Cheers,
Daniel
