Hi,

 

I've tried everything I can think of and have found googling and I can't make 
evolution work with gmail.  When I first setup evolution a few months ago, it 
worked, but then I had some issue with it and my exchange mail account and 
uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times and now it just will not work.  I 
have tried all the different encyption methods, oauth2 and password 
authentication 

 

Prettty much all the same error, or two different errors maybe...  with the 
standard configuration that it auto configures when I give it my email address

 

imap.googlemail.com <http://imap.googlemail.com>   port 993

 

tls on dedicated port  and oAuth2  I get a big red banner failed to connect and 
failed to open folder with a reconnect button.  When I reconnect, I put my 
credentials in and then I get failed to open folder, the reported error was 
failed to authenicate the name 1.9 was not provided by and service files and 
thats pretty much it, it doesn't fetch mail.  I have tried password and 
starttls after connecting and combinations of these, but always the read banner 
saying can't open folder... actually with the second combination above it goes 
to loading and I was hopeful it might be downloading, but no, eventually it 
gives up after a very long time.  I know evolution must work with google as it 
did at first, is there something I need to clean out of it that might be 
cached?   Would reallly appreciate any help with this as I am now using Linux 
Mint more than 50% of the time and growing for work as it's just more efficient 
than windows for the work I am doing these days and having to turn to my 
windows system to check my gmail or use the web browser doesnt' really cut it.

 

Thanks

Bill
