You need to setup your gmail account specifically to allow password
login. Your older version of Evolution couldn't deal with OAuth2 and
the advice then was to provision gmail accounts via Gnome-online-
Accounts (aka GoA).  Recent versions of Evolution know how to do it
now.

As has been said before, the Flatpack version of Evolution is sandboxed
 so it's not trivial to get it to see your home file store.
