Hi Ruben, the problem with evolution data server in 14.04 is going to be fixed soon; if you are impatient, you could also try the package I build in my PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~mardy/+archive/ubuntu/daily

You are also correct that we should backport the fix to precise; we will
try to see if the same fix applies there.

Bug description:
  [Impact] Google calendar integration is broken, and users are
  requested to re-enter their Google password everytime they log in, or
  everytime they enable/disable their Google account from the System
  Settings.

  [Test Case] Disable/re-enable your Google account. When affected by
  this bug, a notification will appear and you'll be asked to enter your
  Google password in the Online Accounts panel in System Settings.

  [Regression Potential] Minimal: the fix is a backport of a patch from
  the evolution-data-server code which is already in 14.10, and which
  only touches the calendar code (which is currently broken).


  Old description
  ===============

  [Test Case] Sometimes after one day, sometimes after one week, the
  system indicator will turn red and the Google account will be marked
  as needing reauthentication. Time can vary, but any period shorter
  than one month is a symptom of the bug.

  [Regression Potential] Minimal: the change to the Google plugin (in
  account-plugins) simply changes the authentication method, in a way
  that is well-documented. The change in signon-plugin-oauth2 affects
  only those accounts/providers which use the OAuth refresh tokens --
  which is only Google, at the moment -- and in a way that can't
  possibly break any existing functionality; if the new code had some
  mistake, the refresh token would be unusable and the system would
  automatically fall back to requesting a new access token (which is
  exactly what happens now, with this bug).

  I'll try to find why the account-plugins package was not uploaded;
  indeed, both are required in order to fix this bug.
