The Google contacts issue

[David Cary Hart]

Can someone more technically proficient than I explain where the error 
is occurring? I need enough information to file a bug report - somewhere.

I do know that it is not a Thunderbird issue because the exact same 
thing happens in Evolution. Moreover, the problem does not extend to 
Google calendars which sync just fine.

It seems specific to the contacts API:

Same problem with Evolution. So this is a T-Bird and not Fedora issue? I 
am amazed that Mozilla would allow this to happen. Why does the calendar 
authenticate with no problem in both apps but not contacts?

Google deprected oAuth 1.0 a while ago and told devs to go to oAuth 2.0.
 They turned off oAuth 1.0 yesterday.  The two google contact plugins
for t-bird use the deprecated, now dead, auth method.

With what little testing I've done it would appear to be an issue with the extension.

I would go here ...  http://hogi.sakura.ne.jp/en/gmcont/gmcont.rhtml

And then send an email to the author to see if he would help diagnose the issue.

You also may want to try the latest beta that can be downloaded from his site.  I noticed
that the beta is from Feb 2014 so I'm not sure how active the author is in keeping up
with the changes to Google's API.

Is this specific to just KDE, or happens on gnome/cinnamon/mate and so
on?

I was on KDE for few Fedora versions now, but didn't like how Plasma 5
was, as well as evolution on KDE. So I gave Cinnamon a try (I used to
like gnome until gnome-shell came into the picture) and It's like using
gnome-shell but with the look of gnome2.  And evolution acts a lot
better and like it should (using it lately in KDE it would often not
auto check/get the emails that I setup and had trouble filtering at
times) and no more fighting it.  

Takes a tad getting used to at first but starting to like it more and
more.  It does have it's own weather applet and stuff, but not sure how
the status bar and the like as I don't do the stuff your doing, but it
might.

Just a suggestion/thought...
