That is quite a caveat to add on there.

Evolution has so many small daemon pieces that it is almost impossible
to tell if it is "running" and nearly impossible to prevent it from running.

No. It's easily possible not to run Evolution: Just don't start it.

You seem to mix up two very different things:
Evolution and evolution-data-server.

I don't use Evolution on this Ubuntu machine. I've never configured it.

Then I wonder what brings you to this mailing list...

And yet there are four /usr/libexec/evolution-* processes running. If
you kill one DBUS semi-randomly restarts it.

First there were "so many small daemon pieces". Now there are only four?
I can't make much sense out of this conversation so far.
