RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

On RHEL7, once in a while I will have issues connecting to Gmail with Evolution.  It will show "Scanning folders in IMAP server imap.gmail.com" at the bottom, then eventually timeout and show:

Failed to open folder
Failed to authenticate: timeout

evolution-3.12.11-22.el7.x86_64
gnome-online-accounts-3.14.5-5.el7.x86_64


The workaround mentioned in the Fedora bug has worked for me thus far:
/usr/libexec/goa-daemon --replace &

This has been addressed by the gnome-online-accounts rebase to 3.22.x. See bug 1386953

*** Bug 1260401 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Evolution seems to work with GMail configured through GOA just fine.
