Typically, do 

flatpak ps
flatpak kill org.gnome.Evolution
flatpak run org.gnome.Evolution 

With either  a pgrep -l evoltution of a   ps -aef | egrep 'evolution|flatpak" 
in between.

Just as another data point, I did an Evolution backup which closes and restarts
Evolution.  Interesting thing happened, Evolution restarted with all accounts 
intact.  So what is the difference between Evolution doing a restart and my
doing  File->Quit  followed by a flatpak shutown and restart ?
