"The server cannot process the request because it is malformed."

Hello,
Thanks for this tool, it seems that I am hitting a snag in trying to synch my Google calendar to Thunderbird with it, but I cannot yet see where I went wrong.

1. Installed TbSynch and then this add-on to Thunderbird 115.4.1 (32-bit) .

2. Went through the instructions to enable the People API under my Google account, then generate the OAuth 2.0 credentials and added my email address as a test ID under the "OAuth consent screen" section.

3. In the TbSynch account manager, I added a Google's People API account and put in:
   Account name = {my Google email address}
   Client ID = {value from step 2}
   Client secret = {value from step 2}

4. When checking the connection, it asks me to Sign in, so I put in my Google email address and click "Next"

At this point, it briefly flashes a message box:
The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That's all we know.

I have re-checked my choices from Step 2 above, but they seem correct and resulted in what appeared expected. Any advice on how to overcome the resulting error would be appreciated.

I had this problem too, and was able to resolve it by enabling cookies. I tried adding exceptions to allow www.google.com and accounts.google.com (the two the console log said were failing), but that didn't help. I had to enable all cookies (which I'm not thrilled about). Still, it should give a better warning if it needs cookies and can't access them rather than just failing in this unhelpful way.

Note on the main page for this extension (https://github.com/zanonmark/Google-4-TbSync), it says:

"This provider add-on adds Google synchronization capabilities to TbSync.

Only contacts and contact groups are currently managed, using Google's People API. There's currently no plan on supporting calendars."

Hi, and sorry for my late reply.

That is a strange behaviour, not experienced locally by me - thanks @abm4111 for pointing us to a possible solution.
@ooofest: it seems the unclear message came from Google itself, if so there isn't be much that I can do...

And @BillH99999 is right, Google-4-TbSync only supports contacts currently, and I don't think I'll be adding any form of calendar support (there are other addons for that).

Thanks,
MZ
