Malte,
I know that it's an annoyance, but could you try the workaround I've used to 
get evolution back working?
The memory leak is probably related to some obscure settings or something 
messed up during updates.

I was affected by the problem on 11.04, but after cleaning up the
configuration files I was no more affected by this memory leak. Since
that time I've also upgraded to 11.10 and then to 12.04 without issues
related to evolution.

Title:
  Massive Evolution Mail memory leak

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While there are lots of posts on Evolution memory leaks, this appears
  to be new. No Natty, evolution starts with around 60mb of usage, and
  climbs up. Over the past 90 minutes it reached 385mb. Finally killed
  it. Restarting goes back to the 60mb again. I ran it this time from
  the command line with: evolution --debug-file=

  Here is the contents of this file:

  ----------------------

  ----------------

  No idea what's going on here. If I don't kill evolution regularly my
  ram gets eaten up and my system freezes. I have uninstalled evolution
  with the 'purge' option, and reinstalled. I then restored evolution
  from previously backed up settings, so it's possible there's some
  problem in my settings. But where? I have 4 imap+ accounts running,
  plus a pop service. There are about 60 emails in each account, with
  more archived in a local folder on my computer. I have about 5 local
  calendars, all measured in kb of data. Any thoughts as to what's going
  on? I'm aware that Ubuntu is ditching evolution for the next release,
  so need a work around until then. Cheers.
