Question #77023 on evolution in ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+question/77023

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
Simply move the folder to another location, even on another partition or
usb if you wish.

For example, If I move the .evolution folder to /media/external for
storage. You can then symlink:

mv ~/.evolution /media/external; ln -s /media/external/.evolution
~/.evolution

You now have a symbolic link where there was once actual data. The link
will handle the redirection of the data and the file system will handle
itself. Evolution will continue to write to ~/.evolution but the real
data is elsewhere.
