I've noticed something the last few times I've closed evolution with no

Evolution.  

Does Evolution continue to read emails, even when I close Evolution down
while doing other things on my desktop?  

no, it does not. when you start evolution, it checks for new messages in
the folders (for Maildir, MH, spool, and IMAP accounts)

perhaps that is what you are seeing.


I know that the calender reminder application continues to run but does
automatic email retrieval also continue to run?  If so, is there a way
for me to disable this?  I don't want to risk corruption of an email by
shutting down my computer while Evolution is trying to download one
(however remote the chance of it downloading while I am shutting down
is).  I reboot quite a bit these days since I am testing various
bootloader options and such.  

Thanks.
