Hey reporter, Could you confirm that you don't have an incorrect Google password saved in your keyring?
(In Fedora, it's under Preferences -> Encryption and Keyrings, and then under the Passwords tab) I suffered this in Fedora as well, and found out that Evolution was using a stale version of my password that was saved in the keyring. The real problem is that Evolution is failing to report why the authentication failed (bad password) and then fails to prompt the user for a correct password. I wonder whether it can even detect the real reason why authentication has failed? Anyway, I'm filing my issue upstream and I'll list the bug number here if it turns out you have the same issue (stale password in keyring) -- google contacts: error loading address book https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385935 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
