It's a little bit hidden:

  Edit -> Preferences -> Mail Preferences -> Headers (tab)

  [x] Show the photograph of sender in the message preview

However prior to Evolution 3.8 the feature was VERY deadlock prone, and
I would advise leaving it switched off if you're on an older version.

I rewrote the feature from scratch for Evolution 3.8 to solve the
deadlocking issues, and for 3.10 I've added Gravatar integration to
supplement the address book photos.
