Public bug reported:
Whenever I start evolution, it displays a red alert bar stating "Failed
to connect "[email protected]", reporting as a reason: "Failed to
obtain an access token for "[email protected]": Timeout was reached".
The message is cleared when I click the "Reconnect" button displayd on
the bar. My gmail account then works as expected but only as long as
evolution remains opened The next time it is started - even immediately
after closing it - the alert is back.
This is not new. I faced the same issue on the previous LTS version of
Ubuntu once it had been out for just over a year A little research at
the time showed that the default version of evolution was outdated an
needed an upgrade I ended up replacing evolution with thunderbird but
that did not properly integrate with my google calendar, I eventually
saw myself forced to upgrade the whole system to the (then) current non-
LTS release.
I have just installed the flatpak version of the package as it appears
to be a newer version (3.46 over 3.44). I though that might work but it
does not. It auto-detects my gmail account only to display a message
that echoing the one I was already getting: "Failed to open folder. The
reported error was "Failed to authenticate. Timeout was reached."" Mail
is not loading at all.
Evolution is a key part of the gnome desktop so I feel that upgrading
evolution should really be part of regular upgrades.
