The 3.46.x flatpak series has been a total disaster for me. Mysterious

segfaults after 15 or so actions.

Connection failures right and left.  I manage 8 email addresses. 4 Google
workspace address, 2 Google free gmail address and 2 MS office online
addresses.  All 8 use Oauth2 to authenticate via IMAP.   At the moment,
3 of google address won't authenticate ( 2 paid, 1 free) and 1 of the MS
accounts also fails.

Every Flatpak component is fully updated, leaving me running 3.46.1 at
the moment.

When it works Flatpak is a nice tool, a much better alternative than trying
build Evolution from scratch or running the distro version which is on 
3.36.5
