Sounds strangely familiar and reminds me of this (fixed) bug:
 http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=46674

This bug should be fixed in Evolution 1.4.5 (you are still using the
affected 1.4.4 version). So upgrading [1] may solve this issue. HTH

[1]  Disclaimer: Current stable tree is 1.4.x, current stable version is
1.4.5 and I heard rumors 1.4.6 will see the day of light soon. If there
are 1.4.x-snapshot versions, they are fine too, the most recent stable
packages and really stable (regardless of the snapshot part).

Evolution 1.5.x is the current *development* snapshot, not necessarily
stable. So do not use them, unless you feel adventurous. ;)
