Title: Evolution will not connect to Gmail Status in evolution package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: You're going to say this is not a bug. You may call it a feature request or any of many other not-a-bug issues. However, Evolution is locked into Gnome and many of the features and abilities of Gnome. I can use Thunderbird with no problem, but I can only use Evolution calendar in Gnome. (Is Gnome trying to be Microsoft?) Anyway, we all know the issue. Evolution is buggy at best. Evolution will not connect to Gmail or Google Apps. It won't let me access my Google Calendar if I cannot access my email. This could be separated as well, but it's not at this time. Google uses OAuth, and you have to live under a rock to know it. I have gone through all the steps to allow an insecure application to access Gmail, but Evolution spontaneously decides I'm offline because it does not receive the proper response from Google Mail servers. Please fix it, or at least untie Evolution from Gnome. By the way, fixing it in a later version is not a fix. If you are using an unfixed version and the fixed version is not available for the version of Ubuntu one is using, it's not fixed. Getting off my soapbox.
