Hi, I'm not sure why you started a new thread here, when it's closely related to your "Adding a new google account ignores manually set auth methods on imap/smtp". Yes, they are two different protocols, but the problem is still the same, OAuth2 is needed, which you do not want to use.
Different problem imho - the other one is about resetting my chosen authentication method(s) although i did not check the boxes - this one is about how to add the calendar without OAuth2.
Trying todo this on evolution 3.28.1 i can't get this working again - it just tells me: "Datenquelle »gMail« unterstützt die Legitimierung mit OAuth 2.0 nicht"I'm afraid I cannot decipher the error message. A translation would be nice to have. Google's Translate says "Data source »gMail« supports the legitimization with OAuth 2.0 Not". From that I suppose you did not use File->New->Calendar, did you?
Error message in english would be: Datesource '$thename-of-my-account' does not support OAuth2. I did use File -> New -> Calendar - don't know what else should i have used than that ;).
Yes i know, i can't use OAuth yet - still using the legacy ones -Why? OAuth2 is not Two-Factor-Authentication, those are two different things. My Gmail account uses password login and it works fine with Evolution and OAuth2, not talking that with OAuth2 one also gets many good advantages, like the live synchronization of all the calendars by one click (all my calendars are added to evolution without me doing anything more). Being it due to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795997 then, please, use a distribution which updates the software with important fixes. This one is fixed for more than 3 and half months, with released 3.28.3 on 2018-06-18, thus more than 2 months ago.
I can't change distribution for different reasons - although it seems to work now with OAtuh2 - lets see how long.
so howto add that calendar without OAuth (like in 3.10.x)?If evolution knows that OAuth2 can be supported, then it uses it. As mentioned above and in your previous thread (referenced above), it also depends how you added the calendar, like if at the end of the new mail account wizard or not (adding Google calendar manually might not force OAuth2, even if supported, but I can be wrong).
I did add it manually via File -> New -> Calendar. If you choose Google there you just get an error message that OAuth2 is not supported - yes by intention. So it seems using Google calendar type just does not work anymore without OAuth2 - correct?
You can always create a CalDAV calendar which will reference https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/user gmail com/events .
Thanks, i'll try this if OAuth2 may break.
