Hi Max Connecting Evolution to Google Contacts is really easy. Your OS (Fedora?) will have an "online accounts" section of the Gnome settings (or whatever the equivalent is). Just add your Google account in there and Evolution should automatically pick up that there is a contacts list and a calendar available for it to use. Using the online accounts is easier than trying to set it up directly in Evolution. -- Alex Doll, M.AusIMM Alex G Doll Consulting Ltd m. +1-778-388-2444 alex.d...@agdconsulting.ca Skype: agd.consulting _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
