Edit 

$(HOME)/.claws-mail/accountrc

and change every line containing "config_version" from 3 (which it is in
the version from testing) to 2 - once for each account you have.

I have done this recently, and didn't notice any regressions.

Also, notice that claws-mail 3.17.1 is available from backports.
