Google calendar

[mayagrafix]

Decided to try the built in calendar for the first time and now this pops up every-time I boot up:



how do I get rid of this? Even though I type in the correct password, Gmail rejects it and sends me notice that My mail account was intercepted.

BTW, is Evolution the standard calendar included with Ubuntu?

I don't use Ubuntu (I have Xubuntu instead) so I don't know what 'the built-in calendar' is. However if it is Evolution, then there are fairly recent instructions on how to sync Evolution with Google Calendar here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sy...tion-calendars

Personally I use Thunderbird (which comes with Xubuntu as the default email client) and its calendar extension which is called Lightning. I find that Lightning syncs flawlessly with Google Calendar and is very easy to set up.

I would echo the above post.
Thunderbird IMO is way more stable than Evolution, & you can add the package xul-ext-lightning, for your calendar.

Right. Should have started with the correct nomenclature, which is, Evolution.

As you can see, Evolution can be accessed from the Top Menu Bar under the Time and Date menu. I also have used the Lightning add on for Thunderbird but have migrated to on line calendars as of late because they are available to me even when I'm away from my workstation. However, thanks for the link and instructions.
