They were not checked but still it was again on OAuth2 - sounds
like
a bug, do you agree?

      Hi,
just to not have any misunderstanding on my side:
a) File->New->Mail Account
b) fill user gmail com as the email address
c) keep the "Look up for settings based on the email domain" checked
d) click the Next button, which does the lookup and then moves
directly
   to the Summary page, where the info about the account is shown,
   the same as the checks for contacts and calendar parts, both
unchecked

here i did:

go previous two times and changed OAuth2 to plain text for both imapx
and smpts.
then i click finish.

e) then you keep all as is, maybe rename the account, and click
Finish.

Is that correct? If so, then it's expected behaviour, the automatic
setup also prefers OAuth2. You can, instead of clicking Finish, click
Previous and change whatever you want in the preconfigured settings. 

That is what i did and it did not preserve those settings.

If
these changes do not stick, when you left the check boxes for
contacts
and calendar unchecked, then yes, it can be considered a bug.

Yes they did not persist in that dialog even for unchecked contacts /
calendar boxes.

I may sound tough above, but there is no offense meant. You do not
have
much influence on the distribution's packager will to follow recent
upstream fixes and releases, which is a pita, but it is as it is.

Nevermind, i did not take it in any way as offensive or rude, its tough
i know and i second that its a pita that it sometimes takes ages for
the packagers, but i don't complain here or blame anyone, i guess most
of them and myself are working on such stuff in our free time - so we
need to take it as it is ;)

      Bye,
      Milan


Cheers
