More screenshots are on the project's page.
Supported features:
-The application can be build as a pure Qt tray application or a KDE status item notifier tray application.
-Multiple accounts.
-GMail hosted domains.Normal gmail accounts can be added without the "@gmail.com" part(recommended).Hosted domain addresses must be added with the "@ABC.XYZ" part.
-Multiple labels.
- Multiple profiles(see USE_INSTRUCTIONS) for information on how to set this up.
-tray pop up bubble can show accounts by their account names or by an alternative display name.
-Operations not blocking the UI and plasma-desktop.
-Accounts information are securely stored in kwallet,libsecret or in an internal storage system powered by libgcrypt.
-Automatic new email checking with configurable time interval.
-Manual email checking.
-Ability to pause and unpause automatic email checking.
-An audio notification using KDE notification system when a new email is found.
-The tray icon is the primary way the application informs the user of the state of the application and of the email accounts.
On any error encountered,the tray icon will turn red and the tray pop up bubble with have an explanation of the error.
After an update check,if new emails are found,the tray icon will turn bluish and the tray pop up bubble will have an explanation of what accounts have new email.The icon will change its state to need attention and plasma desktop will unhide it by default.
After an update check,if all accounts have no new email,the icon will turn greyish and will change its state to normal and plasma desktop will hide it by default.

you are supposed to have a symbolic link at "/usr/lib64/libkwalletbackend.so" that points to one of the two listed libraries.
you can manually create the soft link file by running this command from root's account
ln -s /usr/lib64/libkwalletbackend.so.4.10.4 /usr/lib64/libkwalletbackend.so
when you are done,try to build again and see if it will still complain
