Evolution netbook compatibility

To be compatible with the increasingly popular small-screen netbooks, Evolution’s interface needs to become more space-efficient, so that at default font sizes it fits on a screen 1024×600 pixels that usually has one horizontal panel. This means ensuring that all windows fit in about 550 pixels height.

The main problems are in three pages: “Receiving Options”, “Sending Email”, and “Timezone”.
