I do not know what kind of mailbox format is used by evolution. Does anybody know that? Balsa can read mbox, maildir, mh formats. The ultimate way of sharing mailboxes between different programs and computers is to use IMAP but this will be an overkill if you access mail from one computer only.

At work I had to share mail folders between balsa, evolution and mutt. You can set up the folders for balsa and mutt so they point to the right place like - inbox:
$HOME/evolution/local/Inbox/mbox
but what happens is the index files for evolution get out of sync when you change the mail file with balsa or mutt. This does not seem to be a great problem though, evolution seems to detect that the file has changed and automatically rebuilds the index.
I did not have this setup in a very heavy duty situation though so YMMV.
