I believe that the xml files in ..share/evolution/2.28/ui/ control the
menus ( 2.28 being my evo version ).

For me, evolution-mail-message.xml contains
  <placeholder name="MailMessageToolbar">
which contains buttons/actions that act on an email message

this is then referenced in
   evolution-mail-global.xml
as to where it's placed on the ui interface itself.

Make copies of the files before you hack them.
Shutdown evo   evolution --force-shutdown
Change files
restart evo
repeat or revert
