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.

A diff of the changes is a bit problematic. An interactive compare is

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from oldstable:

gnome-gmail |    1.8.2-1 | source, all

------------------- Reason -------------------
RoM; broken
----------------------------------------------

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.

Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

The version of this package that was in Debian prior to this removal
can still be found using http://snapshot.debian.org/.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 806176@bugs.debian.org.
