It depends on each programs. If a program uses the locale, it works.

I don't know Evolution well...
The locale provides character convertion, message format, etc.
However, it's not a special magic.

I'm using Mew on Emacs. It can handle English, Japanese, Korean, etc
in ~/Mail/Addrbook (I put `# -*- Coding: ctext -*-' at the 1st line).

Sylpheed (non-emacsen, GUI mail reader) is developed by a Japanese,
Hiroyuki Yamamoto. Maybe it can handle Japanese and others.
