I believe the Addressbook (Contacts) is stored in a .db file in your
evolution folder.

ie, /home/andrew/evolution/local/Contacts/addressbook.db

That's something that I don't know :-) There should be though,
considering that most other mail clients do. I'd hope that it comes in

If Ximian use the existing spell checker libraries available (ispell,
aspell etc.) I wouldn't think that it would be that big a task (at least
when compared to other features :-)
