Description:
"Gmail Filesystem no longer works with the latest Gmail interface, and will not be maintained in the future. Please see the latest news article below for details."

that's what is stated on GMailFS web site. it seems libgmail is not maintained anymore. and gmailfs can't work without it. So unless some developpment happens, these 2 packages (libgmail, gmailfs) better be deleted until they work again.

Note: I have not tested if it works or not. I just believe blindly what is said by the main author of gmailfs. (it knows what he talks about ?)
This task depends upon

 FS#17619  has to be closed and will be irrelevant if those 2 packages are deleted
