2. Under “Type” select “Google”. Name the account “Google”. Select “Copy calendar contents locally for offline operation” and “Mark as default calendar”. Enter in your Google username. Click Ok. You will then be prompted for your password, so enter that in also.

4. Under “Type” select “Google”. Name the address book “Google” and put a check mark in all the boxes above “Server”. Under “Username” type in your Google account username and click “Ok”. The first time you access the address book you will be prompted for your Google account password. Enter that in and click “Ok”.
You’re finished! Now your Google contacts and calendar will sync with Evolution. Full Story |
