Re: [Evolution] Evolution Contacts recurring error

[John Balkunas <johnbalkunas outlook com>]

I'm running Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon (ver. 4.4.8).

And, yes I installed it as follows:

flatpak install flathub org.gnome.Evolution

flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install evolution-ews

The version is reported as: 3.36.2 (by Flathub.org)

My Gnome Online Accounts is configured for Microsoft Exchange with Mail, Calendar and Contracts all checked/green; so I'd guess that's good.

Don't forget to tell the version you are running. I guess you installed the flatpak?

I observed the same error with my version 3.36.2 (flatpak gitb091e19) and the only way to access was a complete reboot.  Closing and reopen seems to be a problem, some processes related to flatpak are not finished. I did not report this, because I was going to keep an eye on this to be sure. I hope that help. Anyway, please tell you version.
