Screen grab showing Unnamed account in Evolution

Hi,

I added an e-mail account using GOA's normal IMAP/SMTP system. The account showed up just fine in Evolution. It was initially labelled "user@domain.com" correctly. However, now I see that it's referred to as "Unnamed". I didn't change the name - I can't find a setting that does this at all. Other things I did:

- Rearranged my accounts in "Preferences"
- Added a GPG key to sign my outgoing mails from this account.

Screengrab showing "Unnamed account" attached. The account works just fine. There's no issue with the functioning.

evolution-3.12.3-3.fc20.x86_64
gnome-online-accounts-3.13.3-2.fc20.x86_64

Thanks,
Warm regards,
Ankur

Thanks for a bug report. It seems to me that there happened something with the GOA account. Looking into the code I see that the UI display name in evolution is kept in sync with GOA's "presentation-identity" property of the GOA account. If this is empty, then the evolution's UI shows 'Unnamed'.

Rishi, is it possible?

Happened again - added a hotmail.co.uk account and it shows up as "unnamed". Any hints on this?

Unfortunately no hints. I tried to reproduce this locally, which I managed to get that after I edited the account properties in Evolution, but once I tried to investigate it further it begun to work properly to me.

Ah! Yes! I just noticed that the account wasn't "Unnamed" any more! Weird!

Is your goa-daemon crashing?

The presentation identity comes from ~/.config/goa-1.0/accounts.conf and it is read-only for clients, so I can't say why it would forget it. If it is not a case of a crashing daemon, then you could check the property using d-feet.
