Description Marco Trevisan (Treviño) 2013-06-24 16:18:38 UTC 
I'm using Ubuntu Online Accounts in my system, but if I try to configure a new gmail-based account through the Evolution accounts wizard, at the end of the process, nothing happens: evolution doesn't show my new account, and UOA is not asking for the credentials (only the evolution configuration files mention it).

The only way I've found to use a gmail account (both with gmail.com and a custom domain) in evolution is to configure it from UOA g-c-c panel.

I think that Evolution should at least notify the user that it's impossible to add a such account, instead of just failing silently.
Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2013-06-24 16:41:39 UTC 
Note that by design, accounts added through Evolution's own account assistant will not be linked to GOA or UOA in any way.

Can't confirm - it's working fine on my machine.

Sounds like maybe something equivalent to:

Comment 2 Marco Trevisan (Treviño) 2013-06-24 16:58:43 UTC 
That's fine, but in ubuntu-saucy while using GOA, Evolution adds a new evolution-only account correctly, when using UOA this doesn't happen.

Setting status to NEEDINFO; doesn't look like an E-D-S issue.

Marco: Is that still a problem with e-d-s 3.12?
