Bug Description
[IMPACT]
* This bug at a minimum completely breaks adding Gmail accounts to Evolution either directly or with GNOME Online Accounts (GOA). Yahoo Mail is probably also affected.
* I think this also broke Google Contacts support in the Contacts app as provided by GOA, and may have caused problems in Thunderbird. Both Thunderbird & Contacts are included in the default Ubuntu image.
[TESTCASE]
1. Add a Google account, either through Evolution directly or with GNOME Online Accounts (Run gnome-control-
2. Without this fix, the Google account will appear to be set up but won't actually show up in Evolution.
3. After applying the fix, log out and log back in (to ensure that the old evolution services are quit and the new ones started).
4. The Google account that you already added in step 1 will magically work.
Note that if you tried multiple times to get Gmail in Evolution working earlier, those multiple attempts should now be working. Click Edit>Preferences and delete the extra duplicate Gmail accounts.
[Regression Potential]
Zero. This is only installing missing files to fix a high priority bug.
Original bug report
==================
In quantal, I am unable to create any gmail account in Evolution. When I enter my gmail address in the setup wizard, the summary shows that everything is recognized correctly, but when I validate, no account has been created. I have tried with another IMAP account (@free.fr), and it works perfectly.
