Upstream bugs look like a fix was included in version "2.27.5+" which is older than both Karmic and Lucid. (But not in jaunty or jaunty-updates.)
So if you're still seeing this problem with a newer version, we need to know.
And I'm due to try evolution again.
If you need this in an older Ubuntu release, you should nominate it at the top of this bug. Not sure what happens from there, and I see it's already nominated for a couple.
I also see it's nominated for Karmic, where the bug should already have been fixed.
