Re: [Evolution] Failed to access Google Contacts - Invalid request URI or header, or unsupported nonstandard parameter:



Thanks Pete, that is v. useful. 

I can see that Ubuntu's latest is shipping Evolution 3.40 so Linux Mint can't be far behind that. I'll see if I can stick this one out until the next Mint upgrade. It doesn't really hurt yet that I can't use sync my contacts with Google. 

Probably part of the price of letting Google have all my contacts :(

Invalid request URI or header, or unsupported nonstandard parameter:
Contacts API is being deprecated. Migrate to People API to retain
programmatic access to Google Contacts. See
https://developers.google.com/people/contacts-api-migration
.

I didn't see any messages on here. I'm using 3.36.5-0ubuntu1 from the
latest Mint packages update.

See the thread starting at:

Is Linux Mint just behind the curve on rolling out Evolution upgrades

Yes.

More recent versions of Evolution uses CardDav and not the Contacts
API. It's not perfect, but you don't get the warnings.

Depending on your distro you might be able to get a more recent version
by upgrading, but it is likely you will be pointed towards the Flatpak
version.  Using those versions come with caveats, but my impression is
that they are improving. (Not that I use them, my distro keeps up to
date with such things.)
