Bug Description

The online accounts is asking for authentication at every startup. The power off menu icon turns red till it is actioned. When I open online accounts, it is asking for authorization. Whether I cancel or authorize the online account with gmail, at next startup same things happen all the time. I am sure that the information about the account is stored as when I cancel the authorization process, it will show everything OK. So the question is why ubuntu cannot see that at startup.

Hi Sandor, thanks for reporting this bug. Do you use GNOME Evolution? I wonder if this might be the same bug as bug #1210866.

I have evolution and also thunderbird. I have read the bug you have mentioned, I remember some evolution data server package came with upgrade but I don't know which one. The problem exists since then I think. So it might be the same bug.
