In the login manager? ;)

Anyway, you can adjust this for Evolution only, if you don't want to
change anything else. Instead of calling the Evolution executable
directly, change the launcher to start a shell script -- which adjusts
locales and runs Evolution. You can change any locale setting there,
affecting Evolution only.

I'm not sure, how the locales for fm sort by default. But I do know,
that the en locales on my system don't care about upper/lower case when
sorting my Evo tree.

A courageous 'locale' will tell you about the locales being currently
used.


The necessary the shell script mentioned above should look like this
(stripped down from my script to enable 24 hour format, rather than this
AM/PM thingy and still use an English locale):

#!/bin/sh
export LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
/opt/gnome-2.8/bin/evolution-2.0 $@ &
