I suspect it is Ubuntu One:

These errors would certainly correspond with "every few minutes" and, if actually accompanied with a dialog box, would be often enough to be insanely frustrating.

If there's something to configure in the system settings | Online Accounts, there might be an easy way to fix this; if not, I might be tempted to try apt-get purge account-plugin-ubuntuone and see what happens from there.
