Make your Evolution icon execute a script that does the following:

  #!/bin/sh
  evolution
  evolution --force-shutdown
  cd ~/.evolution/mail/imap/$EVO_ACCT/folders
  for f in `du -a | cut -f2 | grep -v ^d`; do shred -uv $f; done

That should solve your problems.

Note that shred works with the *default* ext3.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
