Re the calendar...you were right, I am NOT using the gnone-online-accounts as the .config/goa-1 directory is empty. I have gnome-online-accounts installed but I need gnome-control-center to run it to configure it. But it gets more fun....I have to bring in half of the entire gnome tree just to do that.... and there are several blockers and it appears that gnome is only able to use systemd, which I am not using yet. Which means if I install this, I break my system. Checking how to do this by hand.... I rebuilt evolution with no weather or maps support, no difference.

I edit the settings using seahorse.Hi, you normally do not need to use seahorse, neither there is any setting except of passwords, which you shouldn't edit there anyway.As my account uses the Google two step verification process (they send you an sms on your hand phone to authenticate you in addition to your password) I had to create an app password....which I did. This is what is used for Evolution. I can read the calendar and but not create one. I can[t read the contacts.You shouldn't need an application password when using GOA. GOA connects to the Google account using OAuth2, which is required for the Contacts since Google disabled ClientLogin. That makes me wonder whether you truly use the GOA and do not configure some of the accounts manually in the Evolution.i tried turning off the Birthdays and Anniversaries everywhere I could find but it still throws this error: Failed to open calendar 'Contacts : Birthdays & Anniversaries' Invalid objectIs it selected at the left tree when you try to create a new event? Is it selected when you use File->New->Appointment? If it is, then choose the correct calendar, the one from your Google account, both in the tree and at the top of the Appointment editor. Consider also opening Properties of the Google calendar and check there "Mark as default calendar". When you said that Contacts do not work, do you get any error when you select the Google address book in the Contacts view? If so, what is it? With respect of the performance on drawing, all these things are done by WebKitGTK+ (version 3, as your evolution uses WebKit1, not WebKit2). If you build it on your own, then try to enable/disable some accelerations. Also try to compile evolution without clutter support, which is required when you configure it with --enable-contact-maps. The clutter enables some accelerations, which are not otherwise needed. That's only a blind guess, if you want to figure out where exactly the evolution is stuck during those lags, then install debugging information (or build with them enabled) for the evolution-data-server and the evolution itself at least, then get it into the stuck state and run on a console this command: $ gdb --batch --ex "t a a bt" -pid=`pidof evolution` &>bt.txt to get a backtrace of the running evolution. Please check the bt.txt for any private information, like passwords, email address, server addresses,... I usually search for "pass" at least (quotes for clarity only).
