I don't know (and indeed don't like) flatpack, but it probably depends
on the default permissions of flatpack, your desktop and numerous other
things.

You need to take it up with your distro.

They can be useful - especially when a distro doesn't provide the most
recent version or for testing things. But if you are going to use a
flatpack version of something then you need to be aware of the
constraints associated with it. Evolution is a very complex
application, not everything fits within the constraints of a sandbox
packaging system.
