Whilst in mail

d to delete the current email
n to move to the next one
q to quit

As for how to switch to your Evolution mailbox, you will need to determine
where Evolution stores this mailbox and you can attempt to read it with

mail -f <"/path/to/evolution/mailbox"

I would have hoped that it was working in ~/mbox but it appears from your
surprise at finding housekeeping mail going back to 2004, that it doesn't.

Of course, this relies on the fact that evolution stores its mailbox in
standard mbox format - you'll need to refer to your Evolution docs determine
if this is the case or not.
