[Evolution-users] Evolution suddenly back to zero

The results of "flatpak repair" are attached.
A problem with flatpack in general seems unlikely to me.  The other flatpack app I use regularly, GnuCash, hasn't displayed any problems.
I have also attached the output of "flatpack list", which doesn't show any*.Locale.  Should it? Is there something I need to install manually?

The file "/etc/dconf/db/site" exists in the base system, but is empty (0 bytes). If it should be in the flatpack container, where should I find it?

It's not there.  There are two other .source files in a "trash" folder deep under ~/.var/app/org.gnome.Evolution/cache/evolution/.
I had a half dozen IMAP accounts and a Google container account (mail and calendar). I haven' deleted any accounts in months.

This seems to be the case, but rather than manually recreating all of these accounts, I will first try restoring ~/.var/app/org.gnome.Evolution/cache/evolution/ from backup.
Does Evolution flatpack have any other storage locations?
