The gtk3 branch was recently patched to build with GMime 2.6, using a spray of 
ifdef's.  See commit 
http://git.gnome.org/browse/balsa/commit/?h=gtk3&id=1947b1be7b13f6c3876dd3b53dd3ab52634fff01

The GMime code in that branch should have been the same as master, prior to 
that commit, so the corresponding patch should apply to master without too much 
work.  Should at least save someone some work. I'd try it myself, but this 
phone doesn't have the build chain :)

Thanks.  I'll post that to the Gentoo bug, but I figure it would be better if 
one of the devels posted to the gnome bug.  Also, if that commit seems good, 
would it be worth releasing as a patch version (I don't know there can be a 
2.4.11.x or if this is enough to jump to 2.4.12, but I don't know if Gentoo 
would be willing to add the patch locally, knowing that it is already in master 
upstream.  I'll report back.)

I just patched master to build with GMime 2.6 (commit 
393d0077495cb750ee47bab6ec44a60906a95179).  It should allow building with 
earlier versions of GMime, but I can't test that.

Building from git is a problem with recent GLib, with or without that last 
commit, because gtksourceview-2.0/gtksourceview/gtksourcebuffer.h uses 
G_CONST_RETURN, which is deprecated in GLib 2.30.  I faked a non-git build by 
`mv .git dot.git'.
