How do I uninstall Evolution?

[michael wilson]

If you go to the package installer and search on evolution you get a list of
many things. If you "completely uninstall" everything that is evolution*
ubuntu will not boot correctly after you log in.  After you enter your login
information the desktop appears but no top and bottom bar.  So evolution
cannot be completely uninstalled from the package installer.

The package installer claims to remove 106MB

I guess ubuntu is not that stable after all.  I am up to my 5th clean
install tonight trying to get rid of evolution.  Configuring ubuntu is not a
quick process so we are up to about 4 hours trying to figure this out.

wow
