Although the handling of blank custom contact fields is fixed in upcoming 11.10, I have seen this message also with legit authentication issues. In these other less frequent case you should ensure your client is not locked out using https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha. This happens per client (so other devices continue to work fine) when Google suspects any sort of network issue.
Be sure to post back if this solves your issue as captcha handling should be prioritized upstream IMHO. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777953 Title: Google Contacts don't work in Evolution: "Cannot authenticate user: Invalid query" Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: evolution Hello, I am trying to add my GMail address book with all its contacts to Evolution.
