Ubuntu – Can’t find/remove online account from Evolution

evolutiononline-accounts

enter image description hereI have two accounts set up in evolution that I'm not able to remove nor from Evolution itself neither from the online account panel.

In evolution the "Delete" button is disabled when I select those two accounts

In Online Accounts they are not present in the list so I can not remove them.

The accounts I wish to remove are the ones with the half-globe icon

Best Answer

This is because the default "Ubuntu Online Accounts" (uoa) are different than "Gnome Online Accounts" (goa).

  • GOA have a little halfglobe-plug icon
  • UOA have a little globe-with-keys icon

Yours are GOA accounts, so they do not show in the UOA (default) online account interface.

Here is how you can get to them.

Go to a command line prompt and run the following, which will bring up the standard System Settings inteface, however it will now contain the GOA and UOA icons.

env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center

This is clearly confusing as noted in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1040193

My issue is that GOA is what evolution now uses as the UOA package seems to have disappeared from current saucy as of 3.8.5-1ubuntu3.

evolution-data-server-goa (adds GOA accounts to evolution, as in your example above). evolution-data-server-uoa (adds UOA accounts to evolution, which is more desirable IMHO).
