        Hi,
I'm not aware of any issue of this type with Google calendars, and I do
not expect you did anything wrong, though please make sure you have
checked to use SSL (secure connection) with the Google server (I do not
know how it's named in your ancient version). I believe you can verify
what the CalDAV calendars try to do when you run the
evolution-data-server from a console like this:
   $ CALDAV_DEBUG=all /usr/libexec/evolution-data-server-2.28
and then run evolution and try to open one of the calendars, then watch
what will be shown on the console of evolution-data-server. Also check
console of evolution, it sometimes prints interesting information too.
        Hope it helps,
        Milan
