Do you have ol-gnus loaded? [*]  It doesn't define an :export function,
but it's still important so that the link is recognized as a gnus link.
Otherwise org-export-resolve-fuzzy-link will handle it, signaling
org-link-broken.

Using your example

  
[[gnus:Melanie#ef90b1cff5264135a82bff491006b8d6@CAWNSMBME105.ME.MBGOV.CA][Email 
from John Doe]]

here's what I see on my end (e641d3736) with no custom configuration.

Without ol-gnus loaded:

 * (org-element-property :type (org-element-context))  ; "fuzzy"
 * export fails with "Unable to resolve link"

With ol-gnus loaded:

 * (org-element-property :type (org-element-context))  ; "gnus"
 * export succeeds


[*] If you're not tweaking org-modules, it should be loaded by default.
