The dedicated connector for Gmail was never finished and released, hardly 
"pretty good" :-) Contacts and Calendars integration is still available 
separately.

Cannot be gone if it never was there :) 

Seriously though, the code still exists in kdepim-runtime, but requires 
porting to Qt 5 and some work to make it actually work.  Also some work on 
KMail side to make it better work with the Gmail workflow is needed.

Unfortunately I don't have time to play around with that, so anyone who would 
be willing to pick it up is welcomed. For now you have to use the generic IMAP 
resource.

Cheers,
Dan
