I run Evo under KDE. You need to have gnome-keyring running. Depending
on which email provider(s) you have, you may also need to run gnome-
control-center to set up the account using the Gnome Online Accounts
widget (usually just once). On recent versions of KDE, this can be done
as:

eval XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center
