Geary is using GTK+'s Application menu for access to accounts, 
settings, etc. The gear menu was a workaround for older version of GTK+ 
that didn't have a good fallback for desktops that don't support the 
app menu. Now that GTK+ itself handles the fallback, the patch simply 
removes Geary's workaround.

In DE's like GNOME and Unity, the desktop displays the app menu, 
usually up the top right (or top left for RTL sessions) of the screen. 
On desktops that don't support app menus, then GTK should add an app 
menu button to Geary's main window headerbar, again on the right (or 
left in an RTL sessions).

Does the app menu not show up in either of those places? Which version 
of XFCE are you running?
