It looks like the bug I linked to above in comment #3 might be a duplicate of a different bug in evolution-data-server. Google has changed the way it handles http authentication, breaking online accounts functionality.
evolution-data-server bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735311 Patch for 3.10 (taken from comment #7 in bug above): https://bug735311.bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=284624 For the sake of completeness, here is the 3.12 commit that supposedly fixes the problem: https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/commit/?h=evolution-data-server-3-12&id=5e9d80092b19f9bd2c02712ab0a50fa70b052c74 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #735311 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=735311 ** Also affects: evolution-data-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-online-accounts in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1353951 Title: gnome online accounts require autentication on startup Status in “evolution-data-server” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “gnome-online-accounts” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Gnome online accounts requires autentication on startup, but even typing the correct password in the box, the program says the password is wrong. By the way evolution and other programs work well with online accounts. I'm using Ubuntu-gnome 14.04 LTS 64bit on different machines and have the same behaviour. Just to be clear: online-accounts works well, just at startup it opens an "administration" window where it requires to insert the password for my google accounts; if I type the correct password it says that the password is wrong, the only way to close the window is to click on "discard" and then all works well.
