I'm not very familiar with using the terminal but I tried the commands again and got the Evo warning message. 
But in the terminal there is then no prompt I tried writing --force-shutdown (didn't do anything) and 
evolution --force-shutdown (didn't do anything). So I clicked close in the warning message. This gave a 
prompt. I typed evolution --force-shutdown and got:
Shutting down evolution-alarm-notify (Evolution Calendar alarm notification service)

Then I tried the commands again but with no success.
