[Evolution-users] Authorization with Googe fails after period of working...

[rsbrux]

In the same Evolution version (native installation, not flatpak) under
Ubuntu Studio 24.04.1 LTS I have not experienced any such problems.
My default browser is Firefox 146.0.1 (also  native, not flatpak).
I have been using Evolution for almost a year, 3.52.3-0ubuntu1.1 for
about half of that (previously the newer flatpak version).
