Not currently, as far as I know.

I don't know of any method for automatic creation of folders.

This one is fairly common these days.  Evolution, as a Gnome 1.4
application, respects Gnome 1.4 settings for preferred browser.  Most
recent distros are based on Gnome 2 and have no GUI for modifying the
Gnome 1.4 settings.  The solution is therefore to edit a text file
manually.  The file is ~/.gnome/Gnome, and the syntax is reasonably
self-explanatory.  I'd tell you explicitly what to enter, but I don't
know what you have there currently, and I don't know what browser you
prefer.
