[Bug 777953] Re: Google Contacts don't work in Evolution: "Cannot authenticate user: Invalid query"

 

Although the handling of blank custom contact fields is fixed in
upcoming 11.10, I have seen this message also with legit authentication
issues.  In these other less frequent case you should ensure your client
is not locked out using
https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha.  This happens per
client (so other devices continue to work fine) when Google suspects any
sort of network issue.

Be sure to post back if this solves your issue as captcha handling
should be prioritized upstream IMHO.

  Hello,
  I am trying to add my GMail address book with all its contacts to Evolution. All I get is this Error-Message:

  This address book cannot be opened.  This either means that an incorrect URI was entered, or the server is unreachable.
