Bug Description

Running Ubuntu 19.10 Gnome fully patched.
MY GMail account is added via Gnome Online Accounts, with just Mail, Contacts and Calendar selected.
Then, when I launch Evolution. I see an error displayed each time stating "Data source "<email address hidden>" does not support OAuth 2.0 authentication".

I am not sure whether two-factor authentication matters, but I have tried disabling and re-enabling it and it has made no difference.

I can duplicate this on two separate installations so I assume this problem could be widespread.

Thanks
Nick

Reviewing this again I propose this bug is closed as it only affects one machine so most likely a config-specific issue rather than a bug. Thanks.

Spoke too soon. Please ignore my previous comment. This is still happening, this time on Ubuntu 20.04 beta.

I see the error every time whe launching Evolution. Oddly, I do not see this on my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed machine. Ubuntu has Evolution 3.34.1-3 whereas Tumbleweed has 3.34.3 in case that is relevant.
