Bug Description

SRU Note
========
We are using the exception to mention this bug in the SRU changelog for bug tracking but will not do individual verification of this fix before promoting to -updates.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Bug_references_in_changelogs

Impact
======
The new WebDav etc feature in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS does not support fastmail.com (or a different provider, mailbox.org) natively.

This was fixed in
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/commit/2efd2129
and
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-online-accounts/-/commit/cc6c0948
which are included in gnome-online-accounts 3.50.1

Test Case
=========
None

What Could Go Wrong
===================
See master bug for gnome-online-accounts 3.50.3 update LP: #2072782

Original Bug Report
===================
Even though GNOME Online Accounts now natively supports WebDav, CalDav and CardDav, it doesn't work with Fastmail. This bug was recognised upstream, and has been fixed upstream in 3.50.1.

Could Ubuntu release gnome-online-accounts 3.50.1 or newer in the Ubuntu 24.04 "updates" or "backports" repositories?
