        Hi,
how did you configure the Google account, please? Was it directly in
Evolution, or in GNOME Online Accounts, or in Ubuntu Online Accounts,
or...

The error basically means that some process (depending on the way you
configured the account, though I guess evolution-source-registry) had
been connected to some other process through D-Bus and the other
process is now gone for some reason, but the connection is not
re-established (which may or may not be possible, it depends).
Restarting the evolution(-data-server) processes (like with:
`evolution --force-shutdown`) may or may not help. Restarting whole
machine would help, if it'll start the other process after restart too.

The question is why the other process disappeared. Was it expected or
unexpected (like when the other process crashed)? I do not have an
answer for this question, maybe your system logs crashes somewhere,
maybe not.
        Bye,
        Milan
