You can't really do it for the evolution dir. You could try a symlink, but if strange things happen ...
You can however store your local mail folders anywhere ... e.g. you create a new 'account', but have it setup as a 'local mbox spool' or 'maildir tree', and enter the path to the base of the folder tree in the config. It will show up as a new subtree in the folder list. But you may run into problems with a windows drive as it doesn't support the same file operations a native filesystem does, and things like case sensitivity.
