Evolution's excellent addressbook hasn't been working well for more than a year now, starting with 11.04. The 'crowd' must have moved over to Thunderbird, or what else could be the reason for such a low priority for this annoying bug? Any Android user would love to have this working!

Currently, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 (with evolution 3.2.3). There are two ways to get a Google addressbook working *for one session only*:

1. Start evolution, kill e-addressbook-factory, (re)open contacts (see above)
2. Run 'seahorse' from a terminal, delete the passwd for google://<youraddress>%<email address hidden>; start evolution, open addressbook, retype passwd. (This works for calendar trouble too: delete caldav://...... instead.)

Unfortunately, this solution only works for one session; upon re-invocation the whole misery starts again.

Could this bug be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgdata/+bug/755043 ?
Is there a way to increase to priority of this bug?
