Not as far as I know. Evo has no concept of a "default domain", since it
leaves that up to your local MTA, so it wants all addresses to be
canonical. File an Enhancement Request if you'd like this changed but
don't hold your breath. I seem to remember bringing this up many years
ago and it didn't get any traction then.

It's probably easier just to add the fully-qualified address to your
contacts list so Evo will insert it when matching a prefix.
