I found a partial workaround. If you remove the account from online accounts and then reboot. Then you can successfully re-add the account. The account will work until you log out again. Then you will need to remove/reboot.
I think there might be a problem with how accounts are stored. This wasn't an issue in 16.04 so I'm pretty sure it's a new bug added with 16.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-online-accounts in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1610944 Title: Can't add any online accounts Status in gnome-online-accounts package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Can't add any online accounts in after opened Online accounts + mark is faded, can't click.
