Gnome-2.14 Upgrade vs (Unwanted) Evolution processes

Hello,
     Since upgrading to Gnome-2.14, I've noticed that there are these two Evolution-related
     processes that are persistently running even though I don't use Evolution on this
     machine -
     I use Mutt.

     Here's what I'm seeing:

     stacey at crom ~ $ ps waux | grep -i evolution
     stacey     52370  0.0  0.9 15796  9876  ??  I    11:03am   0:00.21

     stacey at crom ~ $ kill -15 52370

     /usr/X11R6/libexec/evolution-data-server-1.6 --oaf-activate-iid=
     stacey     67736  0.0  1.6 25468 16144  ??  I    11:09am   0:00.57
     /usr/X11R6/libexec/evolution/2.6/evolution-exchange-storage --oa
     stacey     67741  0.0  0.1  1488   980  p5  R+   11:10am   0:00.01 grep -i evolution
     stacey at crom ~ $

     For whatever reason these two processes keeping returning. Why is this happening? AS I
     do
     not use Evolution on this machine is there a way to prevent these (and any other
     Evolution-related procs) from starting up?

     Thanks.

     Regards,


     Stacey
