Seems that Geary mail app IMAP fetching hangs at least 2-3 times a day, where I have to kill the process and restart the app before it will download the remaining messages.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Has anyone figured out how to launch the Geary flatpak app from the command line so the terminal output can be monitored? I can’t find the executable. Task Monitor shows the process properties with ‘command line /app/bin/geary --gapplication-service’.
I did find a .desktop file for it at path /var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnome.Geary/x86_64/stable/3bb244975224137429780e54d831c0d5af9b847886f94c2ee507d144d3fafbf0/export/share/applications/org.gnome.Geary.desktop
with this as the exec= line
Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=geary --file-forwarding org.gnome.Geary @@u %U @@
The exec line should be the command to run it (after the = ).
If you run it as is, this is the terminal output below, and the application does not launch
seth@mini:~$ /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=geary --file-forwarding org.gnome.Geary @@u %U @@
geary: Unrecognised program argument: “%U”
*[wrn] 12:17:11.0956 geary:application-certificate-manager.vala:74: No GCR slot URIs found, GCR certificate pinning unavailable
I suppose I don’t know enough about flatpaks to know what the @@ stuff is. Never seen it before myself, will it run if you omit that part?
Good idea. I ran the following command and the app launches now
/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=geary --file-forwarding org.gnome.Geary
Next step would be to figure out how to launch it with debug output.
Update: tested by appending --debug to end of that command above and now i see debug output in the terminal.

by the way the flatpak geary app on the librem 5 for me had the same issues of failing to sync with the smtp server after a while, killing it and restarting the app did not resolve the issue as .deb or .flatpak, only a phone restart would. So there must be another process that needs to be restarted as well.
Geary v43 Flatpak on my Desktop does not have that issue.
