I'm running Ubuntu MATE 20.04; I stick with LTS for this system. I use Evolution for email and calendar. Tonight I got this message:

=====
Failed to connect address book “<email address hidden> : Contacts”

Invalid request URI or header, or unsupported nonstandard parameter: Contacts API is being deprecated. Migrate to People API to retain programmatic access to Google Contacts. See https://developers.google.com/people/contacts-api-migration.

I went to report this on the GNOME bug tracker and found this existing issue:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1655

That issue was closed with this comment:
======
"Andre Klapper

    Issue found on latest Evolution in Debian 11 (3.38.3-1)

That version is ancient and not maintained anymore by GNOME developers. Feel free to file a bug report in your distribution's issue tracker."

The version in MATE is even older: 3.36.5-0ubuntu1

So apparently Evolution in MATE is currently not functional. We need to update to a later release. I will update to the newer LTS of MATE when it is released.
