In the Online Account settings, it lists access by Ubuntu to the 
following Google online accounts by these apps:
Evolution Data Server (if Evolution is installed) for Contacts, for 
Calendar and for Gmail.  I removed all three
Shotwell
Photo Search Plugin
Google Drive Search plugin

The last three are installed and activated by default.  I'm finding 
Google very intrusive in the way it is using my personal data to sell to 
advertisers, and to give me heavily targeted advertising.  I though I 
could get away with it in Ubuntu - at the moment, in 15.10, the answer 
seems to be 'no way'.  I do, however want to access Google Contacts, via 
the slightly buggy but useable google-contacts app installed by default 
(I think) in Wily - but that's all.  I'd like to have Thunderbird sync 
with these contacts, but I have to do that manually at the moment.

I think I'd better explain this in the bug report.

Regards,		Barry.
