Hello,
evolution, the gnome e-mail program, currently (3.30.5) is not able to
add an E-mail account ootb. The set-up works fine until the very last
moment, when the configuration is supposed to be saved.
When the finish button is pressed, this error message appears:
"The name org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Sources5 was not provided by
any .service files".
NixOS had a the same error, but somehow managed to fix it:
However, I am not sure how to translate this fix to Guix.
If I can somehow help with this bug, please let me know.

Thank you,
Sam

Hi Sam,

this issue was actually already reported a few times -- just searching
for Evolution in this mailing list yields #35048 and #35267 among
others, which both report it. If you're running Guix System, there is
a workaround, which consists of adding evolution-data-server to your
system packages.

Regards,
Leo

Sorry, I noticed that shortly after sending the message, it made it work
for me.
I'll check more thoroughly before bothering the next time.
Is there any reason why it's not at least a propagated input? I know
there are better ways, but that would probably fix the program.

I'm not 100% sure about it, but I don't think propagating the data
service would suffice. You can try adding it manually to your user
profile to see if that works, but I doubt it will have the same effect.
