from a terminal window give the following command to remove evolution completely

sudo apt-get purge evolution

After this re-validate using dpkg -l|grep -i evolution and remove any other evolution related packages using same command as above.

@ali1234 What happens when you remove evolution-data-server and friends..? – jrg♦ Mar 31 '11 at 13:10

It's a dependency of gnome-panel, which in turn is a dependency of quite a lot of gnome stuff. Removing it will remove half your desktop along with it. – Alistair Buxton Apr 4 '11 at 0:04
@ali1234 I hate evolution. It is like microsoft outlook. Overloaded and only needed in business desktop my opinion – vrcmr Apr 28 '11 at 14:09
