Suspect that this is a problem specific to your setup.  I have some
contacts that start the address with "P.O. Box" and others that start
with "Box" and "PO Box" and these have not caused me any problems.  

As a test I built a new contact with an address that begins with P.O.
Box.  No problems with contact at all. 

Might be an Evolution bug, but would appear to be setup dependent.  I am
using Evolution 1.4.4 on SuSE 8.2.  Spell Checker is checking English
(American, British, Canadian)
