Which spam filter are you using? Evo supports two, viz. SpamAssasin and
Bogofilter, which may have to be installed (not all distros install
them by default). Look under Edit->Preferences->Plugins. Note that you
also have to train the filter, but this has nothing to do with
Evolution. See the documentation for each filter for information on
where its data is stored.

Reinstalling Evo is a complete waste of time and will make no
difference. Removing config files might fix the problem, but before
doing that I suggest creating a new Linux user account, logging into it
and setting up one of your Evo accounts to see if the behaviour
changes. This will also involve training the spam filter.
