Re: [Evolution] Cannot connect to Evolution with Google

    Hi Daniel, 
    
    Are you able to ping the address "www.googleapis.com" (open a
    terminal, type the command "ping www.googleapis.com"). That will
    tell you if there is any name resolution issues on your end or not.
    https://www.googleapis.com initially did not respond when I tried it
    in my browser, but http:// did work (though only giving a "not
    found" text on the page (different to a 404). The https version now
    gives the same response, so I wonder if they had an outage?
    
    
    In thunderbird on this machine the URL being used is "oauth://accounts.google.com
    (https://mail.google.com/)" - I don't know if Evolution will manage
    that or not. I cannot see where to find that URL in Evolution. 
    
    Can I ask you to check the settings for the mail account in
    Evolution? For my gmail account there I have 
    
    Receiving email :
    Server : imap.gmail.com port 993
    username : my email address
    Encryption : TLS on a dedicated port
    Authentication OAuth2 (Google)
    
    Sending email : 
    Server : smtp.gmail.com port 465
    Encryption : TLS on a dedicated port
    Authentication OAuth2 (Google)
    
    
    I believe Evolution should get these settings automatically, but
    there could be a glitch somewhere causing something to be off.
    
    As at the start, I'd check that you can reach the googleapis URL
    first, as a firewall glitch or other issue may be stopping that. 
    
    I hope this is of some use, 
    KR
