Description Pacho Ramos 2015-06-13 17:01:21 UTC
I only see this error:
Error while Fetching mail from 'pachoramos1@gmail.com'.
Source 'pachoramos1@gmail.com' doesn't support prompt for credentials

But no other error in terminal. The versions I run:
evolution-3.16.3
evolution-data-server-3.16.3
libgdata-0.17.1

Thanks for your help

I see this error when running gnome-contacts:
$ LC_ALL=C gnome-contacts 

** (gnome-contacts:13949): WARNING **: eds_source_credentials_required_cb: Failed to authenticate 'Contactos': No se puede encontrar una cuenta correspondiente en el servicio org.gnome.OnlineAccounts de la que obtener una contrase?a para ?pachoramos1@gmail.com?

I can for now make it work recompiling evolution-data-server WITHOUT goa support
Comment 3 Pacho Ramos 2015-06-16 09:27:38 UTC
I am not sure if maybe CCing gnome-online-accounts maintainers could help to find if the problem is in their side or evolution itself :/
Comment 4 Pacho Ramos 2015-06-16 09:28:05 UTC
I am running goa-3.16.2
Comment 5 Debarshi Ray 2015-06-16 17:30:15 UTC
Did you add a Google account in GOA? Or did you add a IMAP/SMTP account in GOA?

The latter, obviously, doesn't do POP. I don't think evolution uses POP with GOA Google accounts either. GOA certainly doesn't export the POP configuration details.

Thanks for a bug report. This is an instance of bug #750148, thus I mark it as a duplicate.

I am nearly 100% sure I tried to apply that patch as used in Fedora and it failed still, let me retry
Comment 9 Pacho Ramos 2015-06-17 19:11:52 UTC
It fails exactly with the same with eds snapshot including latest commit present today -> 11764532116db5c3be891f9ec0f0010fdaf63a4c

I got this tarball:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/snapshot/evolution-data-server-11764532116db5c3be891f9ec0f0010fdaf63a4c.tar.xz

I have this accounts (that were all working ok for 3.12.x):
pachoramos@gmail.com -> imapx, I have two accounts listed in evolution preferences window. One is the "native" evolution one, and the other is the one created with GOA

pachoramos1@gmail.com -> pop3, I only have the "native" evolution account

With the pop3 one (pachoramos1) I get the error reported in this bug.

With the other account (pachoramos) I get the error I reported in bug 750948

Did you also reconfigure (remove & add) the account, as stated in bug #750948 comment #8?
Comment 12 Pacho Ramos 2015-06-18 08:24:28 UTC
Ah, I will retry as soon as I return home, thanks!

I guess once the fixed version is provided, people jumping directly from 3.12.x series to that fixed eds 3.16 version won't hit the problem right? (to know how to document it downstream to help people hitting this bug... if it finally works :))

Best regards!

Yes, that's correct, people start using the fixed version will not hit the issue.
Comment 14 Pacho Ramos 2015-06-19 16:15:54 UTC
It still fails exactly with the same error :(
Comment 15 Pacho Ramos 2015-06-19 16:32:42 UTC
Umm, looks like removing+adding accounts didn't work for some reason, I have needed to manually edit the source file to drop the empty Gnome Online Accounts section...

After that I have needed to manually kill all evolution* processes (with, of course, main evolution process down) and, after that, looks like I get no error when starting evolution. But I will wait a bit to see if I get mails normally, if I can sent them and so...
Comment 16 Pacho Ramos 2015-06-19 16:34:53 UTC
It looks to work fine =D

Thanks a lot for your guidance! (and for fixing the bugs! ;)

Best regards!
