Make sure you have "gnome-spell" >= 1.0.5, "aspell" and
"aspell-XX" (where "XX" is your locale, for example "aspell-en" for US
English or "aspell-en-uk" for British English) installed, depending on
your distribution package system.
Evolution does not use "myspell".
Then go to "Edit | Preferences | Composer Preferences | Spell Checking",
and enable the available languages.
As you haven't told which languages you have installed, please also note
that some languages require "gnome-spell" >= 1.0.7 to be supported by
Evolution.
You can also check gnome-enabled dictionaries by using the application
"gconf-editor". The GConf key "/GNOME/Spell/language" should contain a
space-separated list of the languages you have enabled (i.e. "en-US es"
for US english and Spain).

cheers,
andre
