one thing you may want to try is grabbing the nightly snapshots from ftp.ximian.com/pub/evolution-snapshot/debian-potato-i386 and making sure you're getting the same problems with them... i've had various issues with the debian unstable packages, but have found that ximian's nightly snapshots work wonders on said problems: they install and run flawlessly on unstable, despite their being labeled for potato (note that you have to grab them from the ftp site, you can't get them through red-carpet if you're running unstable)
