Outbox deleted when upgrading
Bug summary
Unsent emails in outbox deleted when upgrading from 0.13.x apt package to 3.32.1 Flatpak.
I had Geary 0.13.? (sorry, don't remember, probably latest) installed via apt and some emails weren't sending (gmail account / GOA) -- I think a ZIP attachment was triggering an "unsafe mail" filter which was also blocking non-affected emails, probably a separate issue -- so I decided to upgrade to the latest flatpak version (3.32.1) to see if it'll send them. I installed the flatpak, opened it, and it synced so I assumed the mail was sent and I uninstalled the apt version. Now a few days later I discover that the emails didn't send and I can't find any trace of them, locally or on the gmail web client.
