Currently, the situation is very confusing: - there are two control center items called "Online accounts". - if you configure a Google account in UOA, you're supposed to be getting automatic configuration for Shotwell and Empathy. But, actually, you get Evolution (email, contacts, calendar) integration as well, with no way to disable (or fine-grain) it from the control center. - if you configure a Google account in GOA, you get automatic integration inside Evolution (email, contacts, calendar), Documents and Empathy, and you can choose to enable / disable the components you need. - if you use GOA but not UOA, although your account works in Empathy, clicking on "accounts" from Empathy's menu does nothing. It works when using UOA though. - if you configure the same Google account in both UOA and GOA, you get two email account, two contact lists and two calendars in Evolution. As you can see, it's a bit complicated to understand which should be used, and it would help to know what the developers are doing (or not) to try to simplify the situation. Thanks a lot! ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 17 May 2013 07:37:18 +0200 From: Alfredo Hern?ndez <<a href="mailto:aldomann.designs@gmail.com">aldomann.designs@gmail.com</a>> To: Julien Olivier <<a href="mailto:julo42@gmail.com">julo42@gmail.com</a>> Cc: Ubuntu GNOME <<a href="mailto:ubuntu-gnome@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-gnome@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> Subject: Re: uoa vs goa Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:CAApUPqmyOwQ-csaPjO2XR%2BuPS50jdfs76-owkOcQpbWXBFJy4Q@mail.gmail.com">CAApUPqmyOwQ-csaPjO2XR+uPS50jdfs76-owkOcQpbWXBFJy4Q@mail.gmail.com</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" It is indeed. This is a clear example of the zero collaboration between Ubuntu and GNOME (I'm not saying who is wrong). They should have looked for a standard online account approach. If you ask me, whilst GOA has less services, it is superior as the options it gives are far better than UOA ones. I wish GNOME folks make it possible to stop using using UOA in our systems in a near future, as you say, the current implementation is ridiculously confusing. Regards, Alfredo.
