If the prompt is caused by a google online account with dual factor authentication and you want to maintain the goa functionality, you can set an App Password in your google account settings and enter it at the prompt. This avoids having to delete the accounts.conf file.
This solution solved my issue on Linux Mint 17.3; my Evolution is set up to use the gnome online accounts for imap functionality. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1044549 Title: The "Access Prompt" randomly pop up!
