        Hi,
with "uploading files", do you mean after you Send the message, or when
you select the file to be attached? If the former, is the file already
downloaded in the message? That's indicated in the attachment bar, the
attachment icon shows a "progress indicator" when it is loading/saving.

When you say generic failure error, how that that look, please? And if
you run the evolution from a terminal (flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution),
are there any runtime warnings shown when you try to send/upload to the
composer?

I'm wondering whether the behavior depends not only on the file size,
but also file type.

It looks like the attachment was not loaded yet.

I do not have 3.32.x flatpak here, the version had been updated to
3.34.0, which you can get if you re-download the json script/flatpak
manifest from the repository.

What versions of xdg-desktop-portal packages you've installed, please?
I have xdg-desktop-portal-1.2.0-3.fc30.x86_64,
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk-1.2.0-3.fc30.x86_64,
xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.15.4-1.fc30.x86_64
and with them and 3.34.0 flatpak build I can successfully upload 1.8MB
log file to a message (which loaded instantly into the composer) and
send it using Gmail SMTP. I'd say either it's something with the portal
(probably xdg-desktop-portal-gtk) or some odd setting for the SMTP
server.
        Bye,
        Milan
