I'm the maintainer of the latter package, I will prepare a upload for
this package on this weekend (it's planed for a longer time at all),
sogo-connector is only using some *.idl files from icedove-dev, that are
more or less just JS files. But to get of the need for the transitional
packages for the build and the package later the package needs a
rebuild.

I filled bug #852875 for calendar-exchange-provider, it's quite the same
as for the sogo-connector. No header or libraries are used, the B-D and
the Depends field needs to be adjusted.

Mozilla upstream released Thunderbird 45.7.0 two days ago. Are you o.k.
if we plan the upload about this version into unstable?
I mean, there are only two packages with that dependency on the -dev
package and other packages wont break even for stretch.
