Since we don't know exactly where the issue is, it could be anything from something relatively benign to just shy of catastrophic. So to start: 1) backup his data (image the whole disk if you can) 2) boot a livecd and check the filesystem(s) 3) check filesystems for inode usage, df -i 4) for Firefox, check the user settings (Edit > Preferences > Privacy) 5) for Evolution, not sure as I don't use it. My inclination would be to switch to IMAP over POP as POP has all some unresolved issues[1]. There's a bunch of other things to try, but we gotta start somewhere. Good luck and let us know how things go.
