Adding Email Accounts Issue
What Happened?
When I try to add my Gmail or Outlook account using the default IMAP settings, I get the error shown in the attachment. I have a working 5GHz internet connection. Also, on Elementary OS 7, I used to be able to use the GNOME Control Center workaround, but now when I try to run "gnome-control-center" from the terminal, I get the following message: "Running gnome-control-center is only supported under GNOME and Unity, exiting." Please look into this issue and try to find a solution. Thank you.

I have the same issue exactly. Kindly someone provide the fix for this
I have reported this issue in the settings-onlineaccounts project: https://github.com/elementary/settings-onlineaccounts/issues/297
Right now, you can install Evolution (the .deb package) and perform the account setup there; then continue using elementary mail.
