Thanks for your bug submission. I thought that 2 GB was the maximum file size within the Linux file system for technical reasons. It could be 4 GB, but one bit is reserved for something. I wish I had a more authoritative link to give you.
Marking as Confirmed, since evolution needs a way to gracefully handle this use case. Gmail allows 4 GB so we need to keep up with the Jones.
