Bug Description

Evolution 3.28.1-2 on Ubuntu 18.04.

On restarting evolution for Google imap account, settings for receiving/ sending options change automatically to OAuth 2.0

And I get the error:
"The reported error was “Failed to authenticate: Data source “<email address hidden>” does not support OAuth 2.0 authentication”."

If I change the settings again in preferences manually, on restarting the account settings for receiving - change itself from Password to OAuth2(Google), and for sending - from login to OAuth2(Google).

Do let me if it is not clear or more information is needed.

Please suggest a solution.

Thanks

Make sure that Ubuntu packagers include the patch in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution-data-server/commit/5c6b22b8eb72ccac07c7e5867aa6074347f7fd78 for https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795997 (the patch was merged after the release of evolution-data-server 3.28 in GNOME).
And/or, if you did not set up your Google account via "Online Accounts" in the control center / settings but instead in Evolution directly, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749974#c4
