Hmm, I can't help with this one, I don't use guix home yet.
I installed it manually with `guix install`. I get a new error in Evolution. Error while Retrieving folder list for “c...@bluehome.net”. Source “c...@bluehome.net” doesn’t support prompt for credentials
But this one sounds like a problem with the source (?); maybe you need to modify Evolution settings to query the service in another way (?).
If Evolution gives you too much trouble, though, I'd recommend using Icedove instead. I've been using it for a long time and have had a good experience with it.
Personally, I add this package to my system configuration because other GNOME apps also depend on it to work correctly (e.g. GNOME Calendar). I don't know/remember why "evolution-data-server" is not installed as part of "gnome-desktop", but this is a known issue. See:This should really be fixed... Sorry if I'm being overly critical. I come from Fedora, where things are heavily polished.
I understand the frustration. In some areas related to desktop computing, moving from Fedora, or any other similar distribution, to the Guix System can feel like a downgrade. But that's usually because Guix works in a different way, and there are new challenges when it comes to incorporating certain software into the whole system, not to mention that the volunteer personnel is scarce (although tremendously helpful).
Anyway, I hope you find solutions. Cheers,
