I see, it's Google blocking access from Evolution because it is known to have security issues.
So, not only Ubuntu is distributing an obsolete version of the application, but even une that is known to be a security hazard. Cool! ** Attachment added: "Untitled.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/1737784/+attachment/5021761/+files/Untitled.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1737784 Title: systematically fails to connect to gmail account with the correct password Status in evolution package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I installed Evolution just for the sake of trying and help diagnosing an unrelated bug. Not that I intend to use it. The first time I ran it, it asked me to insert an email address for creating an account, so I did, I entered a gmail address and the correct password, but the mail authentication request keeps failing. I have double-checked that the password is correct by logging in to that very same gmail account in a new incognito browser window. I wanted to report this upstream but the version of Evolution is obsolete upstream. So, can't even begin to use it. Fortunately I wasn't going to, so I don't care, but it's pathetic.
