Dear evolutioners, My email stopped working just now. Apparently google no longer accepts normal login for SMTP and required OAuth2, for my account, this naturally popped up a box that asked me to log in after accepting all the permissions evolution needs google's webpage then just shows a screen asking me to copy and paste a key... but no place to paste it and just a cancel button.
To send this email I was forced to sign up to Gnome's online services, disable all of them but email, then disable IMAP (I don't read my email from google's servers) which provided the oauth2 token required for sending email. Now I have an email client (evolution) where in one account I can't turn off email receiving (just auto-refresh) and in another account I can't turn off email sending (broken google login) and it works HORRIBLY. I hate it, I hate it so much. The inflexibility of the whole thing is maddening. I don't think there's anything to be done about it at this stage since Ubuntu doesn't update to latest gnome and to try would destroy the system, developing evolution is impossible inside or outside of the gnome builder system so I can't even fix it myself because it's tied so closely to Gnome that it's impossible to contribute to.
