There is a language dependency in the code. For attachments, the
software navigates to the "Drafts" folder as the place to store the
outgoing message. The name of the Drafts folder in Gmail is dependent on
the language setting. Since your error message is in English, I'm
guessing that your Gmail account is set to German. See
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2970810&group_id=277145&atid=1176979
for a discussion of the issue.

To fix, set Ubuntu and Gmail to the same language. Alternately, you may
be able to add "LANG=de" at the front of the Exec line in
/usr/share/applications/gnome-gmail.desktop. Or, brute force the
"Drafts" string in /usr/bin/gnome-gmail (to "Entwürfe").

Google has recently provided an IMAP API extension that allows
identification of the Drafts folder without translation support. That is
on the wish list.
