Public bug reported:
I have two Google Mail accounts configured to send and receive email on
evolution. One is personal and one is official. The official one is a
GSuite account. Every day, and sometimes many times in a day evolution
reports and inability to receive or send email from these accounts. The
error reported is either an authentication error or a timeout error. A
message popup shows an option to "reconnect". Clicking that opens up a
dialog box for Google (OAuth) authentication and google asks me to allow
GNOME Evolution to do this or that. I have to click allow and after that
it may work or I may have to restart my computer to reconnect on
evolution.
After I complete the authentication process I receive a message from
Google that I signed in from an unknown device, whereas it is the same
notebook computer from which I have been connecting for several months.
I am reporting this as an issue with evolution because Google for some
reason treats it as a less secure app. In order to access my email from
evolution I have to turn ON the "allow less secure apps" setting at
Google.
