[Bug 1519098] Re: Error when trying to connect to Google online account.

 

It isn't fixed in the current version of Ubuntu.  This is 3.18.2.  The
upstream Gnome Bug report says that it is fixed, but not for the
'Contacts' code. 'Contacts is all I use Evolution for.  It is not an
Ubuntu issue, you're right is saying that.  The bug I reported was found
to be a duplicate of Gnome bug #751979.  The following comment exists at
the bottom of that bug: "Calendars are fine, for now, it's only the
Contacts part.  I was thinking of disabling it, but didn't get to it
yet. Well, until now".
