You could certainly run evolution inside a docker container. In the end,
you would be running a different distribution than your main one inside
a chroot, from which evolution would be started.



NB: It is a simplified answer, docker is more powerful than a normal
chroot, you could warp something other than a different distro (but it
would be the easiest way, for a ‘big’ program like evolution), etc.
