Interesting... I've tried the same on both Gutsy (Evo 2.12.1) and Hardy
(Evo 2.22.2) and entering:

LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 /usr/bin/evolution

from a terminal brings up everything in Evo in 24 hour format -
calendar, emails, email list. My locale's are also set to:

S$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

so I'm surprised that it does not set your's to 24 hours also. Did you
close Evolution before the LC_TIME=en_DK.UTF-8 /usr/bin/evolution
command? If you did it while Evolution was open then the command will
have no effect; the command is meant to _start_ evolution with those
time settings. Can you please try again with Evo closed?
