in rare cases I need to completely quit evolution, I use this function:

------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------
_me=$( basename $0 )
EVOL="evolution"

killevolution() {
  $EVOL --force-shutdown
  sleep 1
  _pid=""
  _pid=$( \
  /usr/bin/ps -wwfe \
    | grep -i "${EVOL}" \
    | grep -v "grep" \
    | grep -v "${_me}" \
    | grep "^${USER}" \
    | awk '{ print $2 }' \
  )
  if [ -n "$_pid" ]
  then
    for _p in $_pid
    do
      kill $_p
    done
  fi
}

------------------------< snip snip snip >-----------------------------

pkill/pgrep would be an option, too.
