Our server connects to the Gmail API on our backend. Using the SDK will let you add your UI to the top section of gmail (like your app does) but also get the currently signed in user. You'll still need to implement your own oauth flow. Alternatively, if you are targeting chrome only, you can use chromes users api to make authenticated requests directly to the gmail API with no backend needed.
