Hi, you are right, though the main concern of the users (as I see it) is the other direction of the data sharing - the other desktop applications do not have access to the data user configures in the Flatpak version of the Evolution. It's due to the way the Flatpak Evolution is created. It's made as a pure sandbox, with bundled evolution-data-server, not exposing the data outside of the sandbox, thus things like GNOME Calendar, GNOME To Do, GNOME Contacts, ... or even GNOME Shell itself do not know about the events/tasks/contacts/memos/mails the user sees in the Flatpak Evolution. This pure sandboxing is needed to have the latest fixes on both sides, in the Evolution itself and in the backends (evolution- data-server). The Evolution is just one of the clients of the evolution-data-server. That's a rough view, I can go into more details, but I do not think it's needed.
