Description Timothy Arceri 2011-11-08 22:48:14 UTC 
Most of the settings for Evolution accounts are well known for various account types, one popular service being Gmail. However users need to setup their accounts using various boxes, confusing labels; few of these have defaults that work.

It would be better to detect the @gmail.com address and either set appropriately or skip most options.

patches in bug 636214 should solve this
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2011-11-09 18:06:20 UTC 
Moreover, this is kinda why GNOME Online Accounts exists...
