Auto-configure two-way sync between Google Calendar and Evolution based on gmail account setup

[Antonis Pappas]

Just as Evolution autoconfigures IMAP/SMTP settings when it detects a Gmail account, it could use these login credentials and gcal daemon to automatically two way sync its calendar with Google Calendar.

Could you please provide additional information to support this bug report? I am using Evolution to manage my Google Mail, Google Calendar and Google Contacts, and I didn't have to use any other utility to do so - the options so two-way-sync my info is built-in.

Thank you for taking the time to report this. However, I'm declining this as a paper cut and am also marking this bug report as Invalid for Evolution itself.

Automatically setting up the calendar and conacts in Evolution after a Google Mail account was entered would be a new feature. It is also that needs to be discussed by the developers before it can be implemented. If you would really like to see this feature I would advise you to contact their mailing list or try their IRC channel.

Please note that you can already set up your Google Calendar and Contacts in Evolution manually.
