Bug Description

I have a read/write shared calendar on google, that I access and maintain with evolution. When others add events to my google calendar and I attempt to edit the appointments in evolution, and click on save, evolution states "The organizer selected no longer has an account" and refuses to save. The organizer dropdown on the edit appointment window is empty. Evolution 2.24.2.

thanks for the report, could you run evolution from the command line as: evolution &> evolution-debug.txt perform the operation in order to reproduce the problem and attach the log file to the report? could you also try this with a new user created on your system and another calendar to see if it's an issue with that? thanks in advance.

I have the same issue. Calendars created as a 'Google Calendar' do not sync either way (nothing on the Google side shows up in Evolution and new entries in Evolution persist until the programme is restarted and then are lost). Creating a calendar using the iCal address of the Google calendar shows up in Evolution fine - but is read-only.
Factors that may be useful; I am running Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64, problem exists on several machines (all same architecture), I am in Germany (googlemail.com domain).

Attached debugging files:
1) evolution &> evolution-debug-google.txt
A new Evolution calendar was created using a subscription to an existing Google calendar (New Calendar > Type:Google > SSL on). The calendar was created with only 13 (out of many) entries. Adding a new appointment showed up in Evolution, but was not synced to Google and did not persist on restart of Evolution.

2) evolution &> evolution-debug-webdav.txt
A new Evolution calendar was created using the private URL of an existing Google calendar (New Calendar > Type:On The Web > Secure connection:checked). The calendar was created with all entries. Adding a new appointment was refused with the error "Cannot create a new event. 'test2' is a read-only calendar and cannot be modified. Please select a different calendar from the side bar in the Calendar view".
