Thanks for your suggestion. For me, it doesn't work. I killed evolution, changed the height and width in gconf editor in two places, since the names are not unambiguous: apps/evolution/mail/message_window and apps/evolution/shell/view_defaults Restarted evolution: New sizes took effect. Shut down evolution, rebooted computer--old small size is back again.
Check your ~/.gconf directory permissions (including subdirectories) and make sure they are writable. What you describe sounds like the GConf daemon process (gconfd-2) is unable to write its in-memory settings to disk when the desktop session is ending, which would explain why your settings are retained during the session but lost on reboot.
