Hi,
I tried on a Fedora 30 machine, which runs GNOME, and installed
Evolution Flatpak version from Flathub. I configured a new account
there, instead of using any backup. I did not left checked to add also
Calendars and Contacts for the Gmail account. I also opened Seahorse
and deleted the OAuth2 token from there (on the host machine). Then I
ran Evolution from Flatpak (it says in Help->About: 3.32.3 (flatpak
git)). I've been asked to login to the Google site to get the OAuth2
token. This worked flawlessly. I saw my mail messages from Gmail. After
that I closed Evolution and ran it again (flatpak run
org.gnome.Evolution) and I've not been asked to re-renter my OAuth2
token, neither I saw any error in the GUI, the account successfully
connected to the server.

That's (more or less) correct, the Flatpak version doesn't have access
to the host system sendmail, thus it is disabled in the code.

For each mail account, or others?

I have the same.

I use port 465 and "TLS on a dedicated port", which had been auto-
selected by the configuration lookup. This may not have any impact,
because it's used only when sending messages, not when receiving them.
The authentication type says "OAuth2 (Google)" for both parts of the
mail account. The "gmail.com" in the addresses (for both IMAP and SMTP)
can be changed to "googlemail.com" and it should work too.

Works fine for me. I also tried with the added Calendar and Contacts
(at the end of the New Mail Wizard) and it works fine too.
I didn't have it running for several hours, of course, I simply tried
to close evolution and run it again, which I understood as being one of
the ways to reproduce the error message for you.
This might be a stupid question, and I apologize for it: did you
install the Flatpak version from Flathub or from anywhere else? I did
use the Flathub version myself and I suppose you did too.
The main difference I can see, apart of using different distribution,
is that I configured the account from scratch, while you used some
backup. Could you try with a fresh account instead, please? I do not
see anything else different, especially when you use the same Flathub
version as I do.
Bye,
Milan
