Well, depends on your definition of easy. ;)

The attached patches will remove the Ctrl-Q accelerator for File / Exit
and assign it to Edit / Mark As Read.
Apply the patches running a command like this as root:
patch -d $prefix/share/evolution/1.5/ui/ < $patch
You will need to adjust $prefix and the actual patch file name, of
course. (Note: This applies to your current Evolution version. It's 2.0
rather than 1.5 since Evolution 1.5.94.1.)
Assigning Shift-Ctrl-Q to Edit / Mark As Unread doesn't seem to be that
easy though, as this accel is used by Search / Clear -- which
unfortunately isn't defined in those XMl files.
Although Ctrl-Q is the standard Gnome accel for Exit, you actually can
change this for Evolution. You may run into problems with other Gnome
apps if you get used to it...
