You don't indicate whether you're using KDE or GNOME. Evolution uses
GNOME libraries and applets.

Ensure you have gnome-spell installed, as it acts as an interface
between GNOME applications and aspell.

You should then see all installed aspell dictionaries when you select
Edit/Current Languages, from the Mail Compose dialog.

Doesn't hurt to confirm the aspell English dictionary is installed
by running "rpm -q -l aspell-en".

I use Gnome as a Desktop.

bash-3.1$ rpm -q aspell
aspell-0.60.4-3mdv2007.0

bash-3.1$ rpm -q -l aspell-en
package aspell-en is not installed
