What am I missing here... When I am composing an email (like right now)
in the composition window, under the "Edit" menu I have "Spell check
document" which is bound to the shortcut "shift+ctrl+l". So it is either
a three fingered "click" or a pulldown and click away. This is in 1.4.6
for sure but it has been in Evolution for a while as far as I can
remember.

If you meant you want a  "spell check now" button on the toolbar you are
going to have to hack .xml files to tweak the menu system. Apparently
doable but I have never gone there.

Plus as guenther mentioned you can have "spell check as you type"
enabled, which happily is underlining misspelled words in whatever
colour you desire (red shows up very nicely :-)
