Yes. Nextcloud has mail, calendar and contacts built in (or rather they
are plugins/apps that are installed and enabled by default) - it's more
than just a cloud storage thing these days.

The whole problem really is that Tor isn't a routable IP network so
things like Evolution that are built to use IP addresses don't work
natively on Tor. There are applications that have Tor capability built
in (such as some browsers), but for others you need a proxy.
