I'll see what I can do...

So had to change the password on one of my e.Mail (gmail) accounts due to
potential security breach.  Did that via browser and settings.

I then opened Evolution.  The other accounts all synchronized, bar the one
I needed to change.

I got a message to enter my password, which I did.
It then gave me another window that listed all the permissions and at the
bottom "Allow", which I ticked
I then get another window with a very long code and a message to enter the
code in the account settings, but there is no where in Evolution or Google
settings for it.....

I don't know what to do.

Last point:  Online Accounts:  I have used that in the past, BUT it does
not exist anymore.  I am sure I read somewhere it was being discontinued..
I still have it listed in Synaptic Package Manager, but when I try and open
it it just opens a settings window and there is nothing in there.  Seen
this before on other machines, same problem, Online Accounts does not work.

Does this help?

best
