I'm struggling with the same problem. In case it helps others make a connection, I'm using IMAP to pull from two Google email accounts, calendar and contacts. I am not using any other email accounts in Evolution, so I think this might help to limit the scope a little.
Just simply running htop while using the program seems to indicate a jump in memory usage every time I open an email (even if I have opened it previously). Also, I have just forced Evolution to download all my messages for Offline Mode, and memory is staying pretty much flat. These both suggest that it is an email opening / formatting issue (the formatting message when an email is opened is up for much too long in my opinion, even with a very simple email). I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 to 11.04 in the last week, so I know that things should be very up to date. Just in case it matters, I'm using an ext4 partition with ecryptfs encrypted home directory. I only mention the encryption, since it has crashed Open Office since the day I set it up, and appears to have strange effects when programs start to swap. I'm not using Tracker, but am using Google Desktop for search, just in case that actively hooks into Evolution in some way. I've never touched Valgrind, but if somebody could point me at an easy guide to set it up against Evolution I'd be happy to give it a test.
