Is the user's home directory on a file server?  If so, then the evo
local directories will be as well.  If evo is the only application that
you want to have the local folders on a server (why?) then at the very
least you need to link $HOME/.evolution to a folder on the server.  But
there are some issues you should be aware of:  first the setup of the
accounts is not held in those directories, but in gconf, so that
information will still be local; second you will have to check that the
locking paradigm used be evo is network aware - I don't know if it is,
someone who is more knowledgeable about the code will have to tell you
that.
