Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
I followed these instructions on your website:
Getting Gmail contacts synchonised in Evolution
This setting will allow a user to see his Gmail contacts in Evolution (even for
offline use). This method creates a new address book that synchronises with
Gmail contacts.
1. On the Evolution Contacts window, select the New drop-down menu and
choose Addess Book. The New Address Book window will appear.
2. Ensure that Type is set to Google.
3. In the Name field, enter a name for the new calendar.
4. In the Username field, enter your Google username. This will be
something like usern...@gmail.com.
5. Check Use SSL.
6. Click on the OK button.
The new address book should then be displayed in the Contacts list under
Google. Existing contacts should be shown and new contacts synchronised.
These instructions worked on Ubuntu 10.04, the no longer work on Ubuntu 10.10
(Evolution 2.30.3) Now the only options available are:
- On This Computer
- On LDAP Servers (I'm guessing this is what I need, any ideas how to set it
up?)
