Evolution is a GTK1/GNOME1 app, and it isn't likely (from what I can tell) that GNOME2 will offer an easy way to modify those settings any time soon. Indeed, the response I see most often to queries about GNOME settings for Evolution/Galeon is to "install the old control center."
Once Evolution is moved to the GNOME2 platform (that seems like it may happen right around GNOME3 being released... ;-) this issue will disappear. Otherwise, post some comments on the bugs in *GNOME* bugzilla about how useful ahving the GNOME2 control-center being able to modify the GNOME1 settings would be.
