Which version of Ubuntu are you using? Warty, Hoary or a Breezy preview?
Is your system up to date? (Use Synaptic from the System > 
Administration menu)
The instructions on the wiki are for Kmail, so there may be subtle 
differences with Evolution.
Personally, I use Thunderbird on my Ubuntu boxes, for a number of 
reasons, but I don't use Evolution because I found it very buggy. That 
said I haven't used it for about a year, so I presume it's improved 
since then. If you're already using Thunderbird, you might want to use 
Synaptic to install that and have the same program across your desktops. 
(It should be on the Ubuntu CD, if you don't have net access.)
