Claws Mail version 4.0.0git414 GTK+ 3.24.20 / GLib 2.62.6 Locale: en_US.UTF-8 (charset: UTF-8) Operating System: Linux 5.3.18-150300.59.49-preempt (x86_64) From Log: *** GData plugin: Error querying for groups: Invalid request URI or header, or unsupported nonstandard parameter: Contacts API is being deprecated. Migrate to People API to retain programmatic access to Google Contacts. See https://developers.google.com/people/contacts-api-migration.
This issue has now become critical. Google is no longer supporting updates that have occurred in their contacts/address lists. This means that only "old" contacts/addresses are available now - with recent updates being no longer accessible by claws mail. PLEASE implement the Google requested migration to their "People API" so that current Google data will be available to Claws Mail. Thank you!!! Lyle
This error is now more serious - it appears to be totally failing. The message from Google now is: "*** GData plugin: Error querying for groups: Invalid request URI or header, or unsupported nonstandard parameter: Contacts API is being deprecated. Migrate to People API to retain programmatic access to Google Contacts. See https://developers.google.com/people/contacts-api-migration." This is becoming critical for me as I have over a thousand names in my Google Contact List and I count on Clews-Mail to be able to access them. Regards, Lyle
This is NOT an upgrade. GData is a standard plugin - which is now failing. Fixing it is hardly an "upgrade" Regards, Lyle
patches welcome
This issue is now even more critical. Google now reports the following: Access blocked: Claws Mail’s request is invalid You can’t sign in because Claws Mail sent an invalid request. You can try again later, or contact the developer about this issue. Learn more about this error If you are a developer of Claws Mail, see error details.

Regards, Lyle
The GData plugin has been dropped and is no longer under development. (Should anyone care, they will find the code in git, waiting for fixes.)
