I'm not sure exactly if it's a bug in Evo or in gnome-online-contacts, but the issue is defined enough that we can move this to "Triaged". Setting priority to Medium. We should definitely try to fix this before release, it's very confusing even if the workaround is pretty simple. ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => ubuntu-12.10 ** Changed in: gnome-online-accounts (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1049028 Title: Unable to create gmail account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/1049028/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
