Hello All, I was using Evolution for several years with success to access Gmail accounts (via IMAP) and Google calendars (via CalDAV). Since yesterday (I guess the date, I was not using the Google account for a few days, but it's no longer) it's no more possible. Evolution just doesn't connect to Google - there is no password prompt displayed for Gmail account, and all Google calendars are disabled (unchecked) in Evolution and when I attempt to check one of them, a message "server error" appears.
Only when trying to set up a new Google calendar I got a more meaningful error message, telling about "TLS handshake error". So I guess that Google probably turned off support for SSL version that Evolution uses. I am using Evolution 2.28.3. I know it's quite old, but as Evolution is bundled with the entire GNOME, I guess I cannot just install a new version of Evolution, because of all the dependencies etc. - and I would like to avoid reinstalling the whole OS as long as it is possible. I'm happy with my current OS (Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS) and installing a new system and setting up everything again the way I want it to be is just a huge waste of time... So I have two questions: 1) how to make Evolution use TLS instead of SSL when options "use SSL" are checked both on IMAP account and on calendar properties? I know there is option "use TLS" on IMAP, but it uses in-band TLS (ie. starts an unencrypted IMAP connection and then switches to TLS with STARTTLS command) and Google does not support this - and for CalDAV there is no similar possibility as it's HTTPS. or 2) how to install on my current OS some version of Evolution that supports TLS with such connections? I can install additionally a few libraries etc. if needed, but I don't want things like reinstalling the entire GNOME or the entire OS. Any help GREATLY appreciated! -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa [email protected] -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
