Googling this doesn't help much other than some forums says its something google has changed recently. How do i fix this for evolution now?

I'm on evolution 3.12.9

Thanks

Not sure what happened. There was some system updates. Nothing i saw related to evolution. But now I get all gmail contacts.. So I guess there was a fix!!
