Evolution 3.8 question
#1
Hi. I'm using Linux Lite 3.8.  I prefer Evolution as my pim as it's comprehensive and quick.


Since the repos have Evolution version 3.18, there's a problem syncing Google contacts -- something about how Google has changed the way they allow authorization, or some such thing.  Has anyone figured out a way to get around this?  I know that much later versions of Evolution have a problem, too, and it's solved if you're using the Gnome desktop with gnome-online-accounts connecting for you.


Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.

It is because google has ditched all the old APIs. If you want to experiment you could try installing gnome-control-center but I can't say whether or not it will break LL. If it works assume that you will have to disable the package updater for it afterwards or LL will fail on updates. See the Arch writeup below. I use evolution too but only on Debian. Thunderbird on Ubuntu.
