I just bought an account at https://purelymail.com, and am able to access it from GNOME Evolution using the IMAP+SMTP settings provided. However, unlike every other account I've set up on Evolution, this one prompts me for a password constantly. This is what the prompt looks like:
I have GNOME Keyring set up (although I am not using GNOME or GDM), and it works for other apps such as the Matrix client Nheko, and my other accounts on Evolution. This is what Seahorse shows in the "Default keyring":
The account that says Collection - yahoo is my purelymail account. No idea why it shows up as yahoo (??)
I know the password is correct as Evolution does actually show the emails I received on that account, if I click on them between the constant prompts for the password.
e.g:
I did notice here it says to make sure a password keyring with the name login exists. I created this keyring in Seahorse with no password, and it stays locked by default. If I unlock it, it is empty:

What part of the setup am I missing? It's practically impossible for me to check my email since it keeps prompting me for a password and blocks all interaction with the app.

I have yet to find a solution to this issue.

Does Evolution support logging into accounts?

I'm pretty sure it's Evolution asking for my mail password.
It pops up only and constantly when Evolution is running, and goes away if I remove my mail account from Evolution.
Yes. The GNOME client.
I'd have to juggle my school requiring outlook, my gmail accounts on Google, and my PurelyMail account on PurelyMail.
Hence I want to use a client, like I do FairEmail without issues on my phone.
Thunderbird is really laggy and doesn't support Office accounts.
Indeed :c
I'm pretty much stuck with Evolution, and it works well except for this bug.
