Don't know anything about Ubuntu, except that they sometimes do some
strange things.  I would suspect that what is labelled as "online
accounts" depends on which desktop you are running.  The safest thing
is to run 'gnome-control-center' from a command line to get direct
access to the Gnome Online Account configuration applet.

I mean that you have configured Gnome Online Accounts to have access to
your Google account.

Remove your Google account completely from Evolution addressbook
section - it's not going to work and it will avoid confusion.  In fact
once you get your GOA setup working you can remove Google from mail as
well as the configuration for that will be handled externally to
Evolution.
