Mine reads the same and doesn't work :-(

I currently have 3 of about 60 *.source files that contain authentication sections that look just like that.
This morning, since this machine has been through a series of updates without reloading Mint 17.x -> 18.x -> 19.1, I created an evolution backup and uninstalled evolution, then reinstalled and loaded from the
backup.
The interesting thing is now I have 1 *.source file that has an Auth section for my gmail account, but doesn't have one for my G-Suite account. Yet, either way .. using 0auth2 fails with the same error.

Is there any easy way to tell if my currently installed version of data-server was built with it enabled ?

I say 3.30, because a) that is the version listed in the commands listed on the evolution-flatpak page and b) in the json file used
by the flatpak system "runtime-version" : "3.30".
So I might just be confused by the current evolution version being listed as 3.32, but the runtimes being 3.30. or the docs are out of
sync.

About says 3.32.4 (flatpak gitc51c64f).
Interesting, when I first start the flatpak, I get the
Failed to authenticate: Data source “<email>” does not support OAuth 2.0 authentication
message, but once I close the message dialog, I never get it again. So short of paying attention to the connection icon next to each account, there is no indication that anything is not working.

My apologies, I thought I hit group reply. And today, I noticed that clicking group reply does both directly to you and to the list. learned
