When using a client to read news, you don't delete messages. You grab headers, and then select the message(s) you want to download. The messages stay on the server, you just download a copy. Most clients that are also e-mail clients download the headers and treat them like they are messages in an inbox, then when you click on a message, they download the message associated with the header you click on. IceDove does this, I don't specifically know about Evolution. In any event, you need to define a newsserver in your client. Otherwise you'll have to use a web portal instead.
