I received this error when using mbox2gg on a remote server with the --noauth_local_webserver flag. Apparently whatever feature allowed this flag to function is no longer supported by Google. I got around the issue by downloading my .mbox file to my workstation and running mbox2gg without that flag, which opened up an authorization page in my web browser.

Unfortunately, today it's not possible to use copy-paste, application have to listen on :8080 for auth token.
