I am completely lost. Mail messages (with attachments) may be submitted to gmail using SMTP. Certainly it is possible to use different applications to read and to send mails, but by default I assume that users seek for a complete solution. I had a hope that my suggestion to use some mail user agent that support IMAP was clear enough. I expect that most of them (at least wide spread) support submission of mail as well.
Use code you trust and protocols having specifications available.I admit that some users have troubles with OAuth2 authentication in various MUAs or with enabling application-specific passwords for their google account.
