There seems to be no need for the OP to compile either webkit or
claws-mail...

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Si webkitgtk2 | head -3
Repository      : extra
Name            : webkitgtk2
Version         : 2.4.11-4
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ downgrade claws-mail
Available packages:

   1) claws-mail-3.14.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
   2) claws-mail-3.14.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
   [snip]

...webkit is still in the repository and it's still possible to
roll back to 3.14.1-1. There unlikely is an soname issue, since I'm
running 3.14.1 since...

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Qi
claws-mail-git | grep Build Build Date : Wed 23 Nov 2016 01:54:01 AM CET

...but I don't use the fancy plugin, no IMAP etc., so I might be
mistaken.

Downgrade is available by the AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/downgrade/

Maybe the OP kept the package in the cache, then...

$ sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/claws-mail-3.14.1-1-*.pkg.tar.xz

...is all that has to be done.
