Per 805926, gnome-gmail is broken on Jessie due to a lack of support for OAuth2, and a reliance on GNOME 2 for configuration data. I went through the exercise of crafting a minimal upgrade to address these two issues, and have come to the conclusion that it makes more sense to backport July's 1.9.3-1 release instead. Basing the stable release on 1.9.3 adds other changes that make sense in stable: - Adapt to the changing levels of default mailer support required by LibreOffice - Replace the partially-deprecated GMail IMAP extensions with the more robust/secure GMail API - Improve the reverse-engineered GMail simple draft access URL - Support for multiple GMail accounts - Support for source tar signatures - Support for additional languages External repo access to GNOME Gmail 1.9.3 has been available for some time. I've tested this release against Jessie. There have been no problem reports from Jessie users. https://davesteele.github.io/gnome-gmail/ppa.html A diff of the changes is a bit problematic.
