Corporate account which is not configured to accept OAuth2.

I get the same error whether I start Evolution from the command line or
from the GUI.

Fresh load of LinuxMint 19.2 on the laptop in question.  Derek's Boot
and Nuke (DBAN) used to erase the hard drive followed by a load of
Mint.  Installed Evolution and went through the configuration process
using the import from backup file.

The one corporate account pops the

error when attempting to change the account in question for OAuth2 to 
password.  At this point, I can no longer exit the configure dialog.

Not yet, this a laptop I'm building for a business trip off hours. 
Will be attempting to delete and recreate the account tonight, until
then the fallback plan is the GSuite web interface (yuck).

So far every time I've tried the reconnect button, it asks pops a
Google Account dialog, which asks for my credentials, then disappears,
and on the next Send/Receive request causes the same OAuth2 error
dialog.

Now I could be that I'm just too stupid to properly operate the tool.
