Re: [Evolution] syncing Gmail contacts

Milan:

Here you say use GOA, but in other posts the recommendation is to NOT use GOA for Gmail due to the calendar issues that occur every day around 5pm Eastern time.

So which is it? Use GOA or not us GOA?

	Hi,
it looks like you didn't try to search the archives with the above URL,
neither GNOME's bugzilla, because otherwise you'd know the answer. You
may even get pretty good answers with "Gmail contacts", eventually
"Google contacts" in this list archive. It's a pita to repeat it again
and again...

...and again: Use GNOME Online Accounts (GOA), that provides OAuth2.
You can even enable only Contacts part in GOA, and use the rest from
within the evolution. As you do not use GNOME, just run/install
gnome-control-center from where you can access Online Accounts.

	Bye,
	Milan
