None of this happens to me. Evolution under KDE is my standard email
client on Fedora, and has been for many years. As Adam suggests, this
looks more like a distro issue (not installing required themes etc.) so
perhaps better ask on a [K]ubuntu list.

I also notice that the OP doesn't mention which version of Evo this is
(or even which version of Kununtu). Without this information it's very
difficult to give useful advice.
