Thanks Pete, that is v. useful. 

I can see that Ubuntu's latest is shipping Evolution 3.40 so Linux Mint
can't be far behind that. I'll see if I can stick this one out until the
next Mint upgrade. It doesn't really hurt yet that I can't use sync my
contacts with Google. 

Probably part of the price of letting Google have all my contacts :(

> Is Linux Mint just behind the curve on rolling out Evolution upgrades

Yes.
More recent versions of Evolution uses CardDav and not the ContactsAPI.
It's not perfect, but you don't get the warnings.
Depending on your distro you might be able to get a more recent versionby
upgrading, but it is likely you will be pointed towards the
Flatpakversion.  Using those versions come with caveats, but my impression
isthat they are improving. (Not that I use them, my distro keeps up todate
with such things.)
