Gnome 3.2 Online Calendar and Email integration

krnekhelesh · 2011-09-30 14:17:38

For online accounts, the contacts, chat and documents work. However the email and calendar integration doesn't seem to work. I thought it is best to reset evolution by removing .evolution folder and enabling my gmail account. However, I cannot find the .evolution folder in my home folder.

How do I solve this?

Try .config/evolution

I did that and then tried the calendar again. It shows only 1 of my google calendar. The rest are not shown. Also the gmail mail account is not automatically configured in evolution, so I do not get any email notifications..

Have the same problem. Everything but Evolution picks it up.

Do we must use Evolution for that?

I am using thunderbird and have no intention of swaping...

If you can configure mail and calendar yourself you really do not need online accounts.

Well obviously Thunderbird is set for my email and calendar. I was simply Hoping to be able to have my gmail calendar synchronazing with gnome shell calendar Applet.

As I posted in another thread these do actually work for me, but required a lot of "add account, realise it doesn't work...try again" repetition.

I got a number of errors from evolution and on a number of occasions my mail and calendar accounts simply didn't appear or evolution would crash. Ensuring that evolution was running when I added the account seemed to fix things though (though once again I may have had to repeat several times until it suddenly worked) and now google email, chat, contacts and calendar seem to work fine for me, and my google calendar events do show up in the gnome shell calendar.

If this doesn't work for you another solution I found was to add the accounts manually. Google apps mail / gmail can simply be added as an IMAP account to evolution, and google calendars added directly to evolution showed up for me anyway in the shell calendar applet (if I remember correctly).

I'm not getting the option in Calendar to add a Google Calendar. Just "On This Computer", "On the Web" and "Weather".

Is there a plugin that needs to be installed? I'm not finding it if there is.

So in order for it to work you need to use evolution?

The calendar applet from the task bar will not feed from the online account?
