I was able to resolve this by stopping Evo, using dconf and going to the
org->gnome->evolution->shell->window page and changing the height and
width values (which were set to 1080 and 1920, the size of my display),
then restarting Evo.
Once I did this, Evo showed up as a normal maximized window and I was
able to unmaximize it then move it around and resize it as normal.
It looks like there's some kind of bug in Gnome dealing with windows
that are set to be as large as the entire screen? I don't know how that
happened, except maybe Evo started maximized on my second display (where
there are no Gnome panels so it would take the entire screen) then
didn't get reset properly when I moved it over to my other display?
Well anyway, things seem to be back to normal...
