I don't use Evolution, but I suspect being a Gnome application that it works like
web browsers, where fonts can be enlarged using Ctrl-+ as many times as it takes
to grow the fonts adequately. Possibly it also has a minimum displayed text size
option as web browsers offer.

Evolution may also be able to do as I have done since last century, starting with
Netscape 2 email, then Netscape 3 email, then Netscape 4 email, then Mozilla
email, and eventually as now, SeaMonkey, the replacement name for Mozilla. That
is, to set select mail reading in plain text only mode via menu option

	view message body as plain text

Sometimes email is sent in multipart with no plain text content. Unless those come
from doctors or financial institutions, I consider them spam and delete without
attempting to read any included content. When necessary, I temporarily switch from
view message body as plain text to as simple HTML.
