[Evolution] Bug#725235: evolution: [3.8] fails to connect to GMail: invalid password

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Package: evolution
Version: 3.8.5-2
Severity: important

Since the upgrade from 3.4 to 3.8 in Jessie, Evolution cannot
connect to GMail or Google Calendar anymore. A dialog keeps on
asking for the password and reporting "invalid password". 

No other distro seems to be suffering from this issue.
