        Hi,
Evolution doesn't "support" OAuth(2) directly, but indirectly it does.
By "directly" I mean that it might offer a login page and ask for the
tokens on its own.

The indirect way is to configure your Google account in GNOME Online
Accounts, which Evolution will recognize and will add the related
(enabled) parts in its UI. There were done some bug fixes for more
recent versions, like for the upcoming evolution-data-server 3.16.3
bug [1]. The current development version even discovers available
Google calendars and adds them all to the Evolution, instead of only
the default user calendar.
        Bye,
        Milan
