I did get evolution to the point where it wasn't crashing every time I started it, but instead crashes every time I search if message body or full message is selected. ..in a very ugly turn of events, deleting all my locally-held mail 'fixed' the problem.

Anyways, I tried these two things to get it to start without crashing immediately:
* remove your account from online accounts (or deselect mail)
* start in offline mode, and remove any active searches from the search bar
  evolution --offline

Also, though it is by far more drastic, you can try removing (in order of least to most drastic):

From your home directory:
rm -Rf .cache/evolution

***!!!This will delete mail and other evolution data!!!***
rm -Rf .local/share/evolution
