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

 

wmccarty: "0Auth password sign in thing that Google said they would no
longer support"

I think that's backwards.  Google requires OAuth, but Evolution does not
DIRECTLY support it.  Gnome now has a separate module for OAuth.

Run gnome-control-center; chose online accounts; add your Google account
and allow Evolution to access it.

Once you've done this correctly, Google will display the access that you've allowed:
