Just to summarize: The problem is: Evolution currently (even the git master development version) doesn't support OAuth authentications directly, only through GOA.
mmalmeida in comment #1 and comment #11 already pointed out how to solve this problem: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749974#c4 Yes it is a workaround but AFAIK, and also in the opinion of evo developers, there are no drawbacks in setting up GOA directly. So, set up a Google Online Account on your system, and all should work fine -- 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/1459235 Title: Google Address book: Unable to open address book Status in evolution package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since today (2015-05-27) I've been getting this message when trying to open my Google address book: Unable to open address book This address book cannot be opened.
