Did you recreate the account in GoA or did you create the accounts
directly in Evolution?  The latter is definitely the way to go.

It's an IMAP account, but I don't think the error will be coming from
IMAP.  You've blanked out the UID, is it a gmail address or is it an
evolution internal UID?

I suspect that you will need to remove all the gmail accounts, shutdown
evolution and all its components ("evolution --force-shutdown") and
then restart evolution and configure the gmail account within evolution
(i.e. not a GoA account)
