        Hi,
as the message says, the Google disables the Contacts API and the
applications should migrate to another protocol. Your version did not
migrate. The 3.42.x of the evolution-data-server switched from the
Contacts API to the CardDAV API. It's not that feature complete as the
Contacts API, but it's a standard protocol, which will work, until
Google discards it.

You can configure a CardDAV book opening the Google contacts too in
your version, but not completely from the GUI, it requires manual
editing of an underlying file. As it's a good thing to update to a
newer version I'll skip describing how to do it. Maybe it's in the
archives of this mailing list, because your question had been raised
several times in the past.
        Bye,
        Milan
