	Hi,
you can modify the toolbar icons by overriding either
evolution-mail-reader.ui or evolution-mail.ui file, depending which
toolbar you want to change (<toolbar name='mail-preview-toolbar'> or
<toolbar name='main-toolbar'>).

You can find them under /usr/share/evolution/ui/, from where you can
copy them under ~/.config/evoution/ui/ and make your changes there.

It's slightly more complicated under Flatpak. Depending whether it's
user or system installation the .ui files can be  located on two
different places. I think the easiest is to open the terminal in the
sandbox:

    flatpak run --command=sh org.gnome.Evolution

then copy the files:

   mkdir ~/.var/app/org.gnome.Evolution/config/evolution/ui

   cp /app/share/evolution/ui/evolution-mail*.ui \
       ~/.var/app/org.gnome.Evolution/config/evolution/ui/

then exit the sandbox:

   exit

The files are located at
~/.var/app/org.gnome.Evolution/config/evolution/ui/
on your host system now, where you can edit them.

	Bye,
	Milan
