I'm a sociology phd student, with few competences in it, and i'd like to
extract thousands of email from evolution to a csv or other structured

I don't know whether mbox or maildir is structered enough and whether
Evolution supports copy&paste old mails to a new mbox account. But if
both facts are given, you might want to create a new mbox (or maildir)
account, copy&paste your mails into that accout, so that all mails are
in the mbox file and mess around with your data.
