Bug ID: 476530
Summary: E-mail, calendar and groupware accounts should be
configurable through the Online Accounts KCM in System
Settings
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.27.9
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

KAccounts asks for access to Google calendar, contacts and tasks, but does not
set up a PIM account to actually access them.
SUMMARY
The Online Accounts KCM is very limited in the kinds of accounts you can set up
through it.
For example I can't set up Google or EWS PIM accounts through the Online
Accounts KCM. This is in spite of the fact that when I set up a Google account,
I am explicitly prompted to give KDE Online Accounts access to my Google
calendar, contacts and tasks. (See screenshot.) This is very confusing for
users; it is not obvious why a PIM account can't be set up in this way. To a
user it may also seem suspicious; after all why is KDE Online Accounts asking
me for access to my calendar, if then it's not going to give that access to me?
I should be able to use System Settings as a single place to manage all my
Online Accounts, which includes PIM accounts.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to System Settings → Online Accounts
2. Click "Add new account", select Google account
3. Give KDE Online Accounts permission to access your files, calendar, contacts
and tasks
4. Open KOrganizer or Merkuro and look for calendars from the Google account
you just created
OBSERVED RESULT
The account you just added does not appear in KDE PIM apps. The only thing I
can use it for is uploading videos to Youtube.
If I want to set up a Google or EWS groupware account, I cannot set this up
using the Online Accounts KCM - I have to go through a separate UI in the KDE
PIM apps.
EXPECTED RESULT
I should be able to add groupware accounts through System Settings - either
through the Online Accounts KCM, or through some other KCM for setting up KDE
PIM accounts.
