	Hi,
yes, the isolation the Flatpak sandbox has one advantage, whatever you
have on your host machine is not touched at all. When you uninstall the
Flatpak version you can return back to the previous data on the host.

The Flatpak "takes over" the host system installed apps when they are
named the same way, thus when you've installed both host system and
Flatpak Evolution the icons to start Evolution from the desktop
environment will "prefer" to run the Flatpak version. When you
uninstall the Flatpak version the icons will run the host system
version. Running from the command line, like `evolution` or `flatpak
run org.gnome.Evolution`, is not affected.

	Bye,
