[Bug 1459235] Re: Google Address book: Unable to open address book

 

Just to summarize:

The problem is: Evolution currently (even the git master development
version) doesn't support OAuth authentications directly, only through
GOA.

mmalmeida in comment #1 and comment #11 already pointed out how to solve
this problem:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749974#c4

Yes it is a workaround but AFAIK, and also in the opinion of evo
developers, there are no drawbacks in setting up GOA directly.

So, set up a Google Online Account on your system, and all should work
fine
