gmail doesn't work at all for me, using Evolution 3.38.3-1 on KDE on Debian Buster 10.
Trying to change authentication to Oath2 results in an error message in the Account Editor dialogue: "The name :1.2237 was not provided by any .service files." Trying to open the inbox puts up a window that has a URL in it. Touching the window, or any keystroke, including the "Print Screen" key, makes that window go blank, so I can't show it to you (I suppose I could photograph it). If I catch the URL really quickly, I can go to the google page. I eventually get to a Google "Sign In" page that says "Please copy this code, switch to your application, and paste it there:" Where do I paste it in Evolution?
