From LP:1629251 it looks like 17.04 is setting "Unity:Unity7" as the value of XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP now? Given Geary just does that comparison check, I guess its going to fail to detect it.

If that's the case then geary needs to update the code.

Since it's also breaking Skype, Dropbox, etc. do know if Ubuntu has any plans to roll this back at all?

No. The change was made because Ubuntu is going to ship both Unity7 and Unity8 as their desktop sessions for >=17.04. While Unity7 will be default session, user can also log in and test Unity8.  

Thanks.
