I also would like to make a suggestion that could serve as a nice fix
until the Evolution developers come up with a solution. This fix would
require only adding a few lines of code:

Go to the piece of code that creates the preferences window. Now add
there code that creates a GtkScrolledWindow and GtkViewport and makes
the GtkViewport the child of the GtkScrolledWindow. Now in the code
there must be a line where a widget is made the child of the preferences
window. Modify this line such that instead of making the window the
parent of the widget, we make the GtkViewport the widget's parent.
Finally you have to make the GtkScrolledWindow the child of the
preferences window.

As a result we will have a preferences window that can be resized to fit
the screen: in the case where the window wouldn't fit before, the user
can now use scrollbars.
