Thanks for your suggestion. For me, it doesn't work. I killed evolution, changed the height and width in gconf editor in two places, since the names are not unambiguous: apps/evolution/mail/message_window and apps/evolution/shell/view_defaults Restarted evolution: New sizes took effect. Shut down evolution, rebooted computer--old small size is back again. I will report this as a bug (unless somebody posts a message in the next day or two that it has been fixed in more recent versions), but again--can somebody just tell me please where it gets this default main window size?
