Hide your IP address from recipients or from your ISP?  Possibly if you 
give some info about specifically why you want to hide your IP address 
in email, someone could make suggestions based on your goals.  Are you 
trying to hide your IP address, or communicate securely (not the same).  
Latter can be achieved by many methods - some quite simple, like 
encrypting a text doc & attaching to email, or using some email service 
that uses encryption - like Hush Mail.

on any internet communication that's private / secure, both parties (or 
a user & a website) both need to use the same technology or "privacy 
software," if both want to have same security / privacy.
I'm really not sure about the hiding IP address when using email over 
Tor, (others more experienced should know), but if there is a need for 
your correspondents to also hide their IP's, they'd also have to use 
some service or software.  They wouldn't HAVE to use Tor, but if they 
don't use something, their real address will be visible to email servers 
/ ISPs.

Check out Tor article 
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO/EMail.  
It doesn't cover evolution, but would give some tips.  Check out section 
on Thunderbird.
