How delete Gmail account from Evolution?

rated 0 times [ 8] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4726 / 3 Years ago, fri, august 20, 2021, 4:11:22

I would use evolution only to work (company email/calendar/contacts etc), but it's already set up an gmail account. Unfortunately I can't delete it because the "delete" button is disabled for this account.

Private emails i want to have in Thunderbird. How can I remove it from the Evolution? And still use google calendar and gtalk in empathy?

I'm not entirely sure if this is going to help; however, I had the same problem and eventually managed to get rid of the Gmail account via some combination of the following:

Removing ~/.config/goa-1.0 and its contents.

Removing my Jabber account from the online accounts (it was configured to use gmail.com).

Removing a bunch of files named ~/config/evolution/sources/1377432950.21327.?@myusername.source, because they each contained a gmail.com setting.

Removing Google from the online accounts.

Adding Google back in the online accounts.

All of the above with Evolution shut down, of course. I'm not sure which of the above actions helped, but eventually Evolution didn't display the Gmail account anymore.
