How did you create the account in Evolution? Try using Gnome Online Accounts (GOA) to provision the account if that isn't what you used. Contacts definitely works with Gmail. For the calendar error, Evo uses information in your Contacts for the Birthday & Anniversaries calendar: if your contacts aren't working properly, then the B&A isn't going to work. What you need to do is tell Evo to not use the B&A for anything. So Edit -> Preferences -> Calendar & Tasks. Go through each tab and unclick the "Birthday & Anniversaries" where it appears (in Reminders and Meeting Invitations probably). You might also want to untick that calendar in the calendar view as well. > > My issue is with evolution generai performance. > I am running on XFCE4-12. > > When I click to open an email, a new windows pops up almost > immediately and its all black inside for about 1-2 seconds, and then > the email eventually, rather slowly paints in. > > When I scroll through the email lists whether on local folders or on > folders on the server, there is a very large lag.

Might I suggest you try something like Fedora (you can run it as a LiveCD without installing) to see what it is like on your system with a full Gnome desktop. If that works and you are using Evolution on a day-to-day basis as a work tool, then you might want to think about running Gnome rather than XFCE (*) - it will largely just work. P. * Yes, I know some people don't like Gnome, that people think it's bloatware, that users want a "Start" button. But it's a tool, and a tool is useless if it doesn't do the job properly. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
