Thanks.

I suggest that you create a bug report, stating the foreseeable problems with google.

There are PPAs available with higher versions, maybe they can help you. see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=claws-mail for a list of potential candidates, e.g. https://launchpad.net/~savoury1/+archive/ubuntu/backports
