Re: [Evolution] Address book pulls in only email addresses from google contacts



Hi Milan:

Many thanx for the suggestions.
I am using GOA and contacts is set to on.

There is no "google" setting in the address book or contacts properties.
I'm using data-server 22.7 and evolution 22.6.

Cheers,
John

How do I configure it as a 'google type' verses another type?
Hi, if you select that book in the Contacts view and right-click and pick Properties from there, it shows "Type: Google", or instead of Google it shows your email address, right? I still do not know how you've configured it now. Was it through GNOME Online Accounts, where you picked Google account and there enabled the Contacts part? Your issue would make more sense with Exchange Web Services (EWS), which allows two different methods of accessing Global Address List, where one shows only email address (also depending on server side settings) and the other one shows as much detailed information as it can. But this is EWS, not Google. Evolution uses libgdata to access Google address books. Google advertises also WebDAV (CardDAV) entry point, but Evolution cannot do OAuth authentication for WebDAV (as of 3.24.x, the next 3.26.x will be able to use OAuth also for WebDAV, most likely), thus it's not an option as of now. I mean, if you truly have a Google address book, then I'm not aware of any Evolution-side setting which would make a difference in what information is shown for downloaded contacts.
