Changing the DNS servers to google DNS did also solve this problem for me. I'm in Canada and was alternating between Rogers' Cable DNS servers and OpenDNS, neither of which work properly.

I'm also going to comment on this solution upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=578907 where I had previously commented. -- Evolution fails to add google contacts with message "Error adding Contact" other error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465015 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
