You could probably replace the evolution binary with a wrapper-script that has some kind of security check before executing the actual binary I don't know of anything builtin that would do this, and you might have issue with other programs that call evo is mailto: links, but I still think locking the display is simpler, for the other issues duno -- No. Just do not save your password in evolution, and just close it when you are not using it. And do not save email onto your hard disk. If you are using imap anyway. I am sure that would work fine.
