Geary Flatpak crashes due to missing evolution-data-server on host #4450

Description

@FlammLex

Describe the bug

The Geary mail client (Flatpak: org.gnome.Geary) crashes shortly after startup. The application opens for 2-3 seconds and then closes automatically on the desktop. Terminal logs and background process checks confirm that the required host service evolution-data-server is not running or not accessible.

What did you expect to happen?

I expected Geary to stay open and function normally. The evolution-data-server should be active and reachable on the host image so that Flatpak apps can communicate with GNOME Online Accounts and contacts via D-Bus.
