I can confirm. I tried deleting my Google calendars and re-adding them. When adding a calendar, Evolution prompts for a password to retrieve the list of calendars associated with the Google account. This part still works. However, once the calendar is selected, the repeated prompts for the password begin.

Workaround: Use CalDAV, as documented here: http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99358. Google doesn't have instructions specifically for Evolution but the instructions for Sunbird/iCal are fairly easily adapted for Evolution.

According to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583374 it is intended that CalDAV replace the Google Calendar import. In fact, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588856 indicates that code was committed in 2.27.5 to migrate Google Calendar accounts to CalDAV. So I guess the question is, why is this not working?
