Not on this machine (FC4). Attempting to "yum remove evolution" gives:

Removing:
 evolution               i386  2.2.3-3.fc4  installed    24 M
Removing for dependencies:
 evolution-connector     i386  2.2.3-1.fc4  installed   6.5 M


You probably tried to remove evolution-data-server as well. Its
functionality is used beyond the evolution mail client:

        Description :
        The evolution-data-server package provides a unified backend for
        programs that work with contacts, tasks, and calendar
        information.
        
        It was originally developed for Evolution (hence the name), but
        is now used by other packages.

Cheers
Steffen.
