Problem with mailspring

I'm trying to use mailspring for the fist time and its showing this error: "Mailspring could not store your password securely. Make sure you have 'libsecret' installed and a keyring is present.". I on arch using dwm, installed libsecret and gonme-keyring already and still can't make it work, I have tried to find a solution on the internet but nothing.

Re: Problem with mailspring

If you have gnome-keyring installed, just run the application with the --pasword-store="gnome-libsecret" parameter. If everything works, just add this to your .desktop file, for example here is a line from my .desktop file (mailsping installed via flatpak)
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=start-mailspring --file-forwarding com.getmailspring.Mailspring --password-store="gnome-libsecret" @@u %U @@
