You most likely need to configure gpg to automatically retrieve needed keys. It's not handled directly by Evolution.

Many recommend pool.sks-keyservers.net. It's regularly updated to reflect up-to-date online servers and distributes the load of serving keys over more of the SKS network. There are several pools you may choose. See http://www.sks-keyservers.net/overview-of-pools.php for more information. There are additional options for the keyserver-options line. I recommend adding ' include-subkeys include-revoked import-clean'. See the gpg man page. -- John P.
