Nothing stops you from doing what you described. What you are talking
about is a problem of physical access to your machine. If someone can go
to your machine and do a nasty key rebinding on evolution (or any other
gtk application, he can surely pop up a terminal window and issue a rm
-Rf ~/ (much easier if you want to do harm). To prevent that just use
xscreensaver or logout of your workstation if you need go go away. 

I find this feature of GTK a very nice one because i can rebind the
commands I use more often to a shortcut choosen by me. I do not like the
Alt-e+e to mark all messages read, or the Alt-v+r to hide all read
messages. I would like to change that.

Global preferences option (button): Reassign default keyboard shortcuts.
As simple as that.

Take care
