Please always state which version of Evolution you're asking about. The
specific distro (Mint, Manjaro, etc.) is almost never relevant, but the
version can be. See Help->About.

Also, in this case it may be relevant to know what kind of mail account
you're asking about. POP? IMAP? Exchange? Something else?

Note that Evolution doesn't manage passwords directly. They are stored
in the gnome-keyring application and can be managed using seahorse.
These may not be installed by default if you're using KDE, but you can
add them easily.
