If you double-click on the subject line, it will open the message in a second window.  This is Evolution behavior.
Try setting your double-click time longer in your mouse options panel.  I've never sought whether Evolution
has a way to alter this behavior.

If you double-click the title bar of a window, it will maximize.  This is window manage behavior.
Window and mouse behavior settings will let you alter what happens here.
Again, I suspect a longer interval will resolve your complaints.
