+//! # Gmail Client Module
+//!
+//! This module provides the core Gmail API client functionality for the cull-gmail application.
+//! The `GmailClient` struct manages Gmail API connections, authentication, and message operations.
+//!
+//! ## Overview
+//!
+//! The Gmail client provides:
+//!
+//! - Authenticated Gmail API access using OAuth2 flows
+//! - Label management and mapping functionality
+//! - Message list operations with filtering support
+//! - Configuration-based setup with credential management
+//! - Integration with Gmail's REST API via the `google-gmail1` crate
+//!
+//! ## Authentication
+//!
+//! The client uses OAuth2 authentication with the "installed application" flow,
+//! requiring client credentials (client ID and secret) to be configured. Tokens
+//! are automatically managed and persisted to disk for reuse.
+//!
+//! ## Configuration
+//!
+//! The client is configured using [`ClientConfig`] which specifies:
+//! - OAuth2 credentials (client ID, client secret)
+//! - Token persistence location
+//! - Configuration file paths
+//!
+//! ## Error Handling
+//!
+//! All operations return `Result<T, Error>` where [`Error`] encompasses:
+//! - Gmail API errors (network, authentication, quota)
+//! - Configuration and credential errors
+//! - I/O errors from file operations
+//!
+//! ## Examples
+//!
+//! ### Basic Usage
+//!
+//! ```rust,no_run
+//! use cull_gmail::{ClientConfig, GmailClient};
+//!
+//! # async fn example() -> cull_gmail::Result<()> {
+//! // Create configuration with OAuth2 credentials
+//! let config = ClientConfig::builder()
+//!     .with_client_id("your-client-id.googleusercontent.com")
+//!     .with_client_secret("your-client-secret")
+//!     .build();
+//!
+//! // Initialize Gmail client with authentication
+//! let client = GmailClient::new_with_config(config).await?;
+//!
+//! // Display available labels
+//! client.show_label();
+//!
+//! // Get label ID for a specific label name
+//! if let Some(inbox_id) = client.get_label_id("INBOX") {
+//!     println!("Inbox ID: {}", inbox_id);
+//! }
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ### Label Operations
+//!
+//! ```rust,no_run
+//! use cull_gmail::{ClientConfig, GmailClient};
+//!
+//! # async fn example() -> cull_gmail::Result<()> {
+//! # let config = ClientConfig::builder().build();
+//! let client = GmailClient::new_with_config(config).await?;
+//!
+//! // Check if a label exists
+//! match client.get_label_id("Important") {
+//!     Some(id) => println!("Important label ID: {}", id),
+//!     None => println!("Important label not found"),
+//! }
+//!
+//! // List all available labels (logged to console)
+//! client.show_label();
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Thread Safety
+//!
+//! The Gmail client contains async operations and internal state. While individual
+//! operations are thread-safe, the client itself should not be shared across
+//! threads without proper synchronization.
+//!
+//! ## Rate Limits
+//!
+//! The Gmail API has usage quotas and rate limits. The client does not implement
+//! automatic retry logic, so applications should handle rate limit errors appropriately.
+//!
+//! [`ClientConfig`]: crate::ClientConfig
+//! [`Error`]: crate::Error
