That's a meaningless statement.  The evolution front end - what you
call "evolution" gets all it's data from e-d-s.  e-d-s can provide
information to other (gnome) packages. It's not "on" e-d-s, it's not
another machine or a separate entity.

You really, really have to stop obsessing over what's in the .cache
directory. It is of no importance. It is just evolution's internal /
private store of data that it has downloaded and kept in case it is
needed again. It contains no account information and its contents is of
no consequence to the user.
