[New: openFATE 310147] Single login setup for Evolution and Goggle
Feature added by: Drew Kwashnak (dragonbite) Feature #310147, revision 1 Title: Single login setup for Evolution and Goggle Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Drew Kwashnak (dragonbite) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Evolution handles connecting to Google mail, calendar and contacts but each piece has to be set up seperately. Have Evolution, when connecting to a Gmail account, offer the option to also connect the users' calendars (providing a list of calendars they can choose from) as well as sync their contacts. If Google tasks are likewise available, offer to include those as well. This would supply the closest equivalent to the ease of setting up Outlook and Exchange. Use Case: Bob is a developer doing some work on his own and wants something similar to work's Exchange server/Outlook setup. He has a Google account and uses multiple calendars for different activities (personal, school, work, events, club, etc.). He wants to quickly set up his Google account as his "Exchange" (mail, calendar, contacts). Months later, he gets a Netbook to travel to client's sites with for demonstration purposes. He wants to have the same Evolution setup on the netbook but doesn't want to have to set each piece again by hand. The following year he decides to get a more powerful and updated laptop, and wants to set up his Evolution again without having to set up each piece all over again. The next version of openSUSE is released and he decides to do a clean install rather than an update. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: 1. Provides the easiest "Exchange-like" situation for Linux. 2. Provides an easy way to connect Evolution to Google for multiple machines, new machines and after upgrades. 3. Provides a framework that could be used for other Services if there is a need. 4. Help less-technical users get up-and-running quickly and easily. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310147

This is actually + an upstream feature request that should land somewhere on gnome.org + And I think this has been done by upstream. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310147
