Based on replies so far, I'm now thinking I'm incorrectly remembering and/or misunderstanding something said in some previous thread that I started.  I thought someone noticed that I had a bunch of useless processes running on my system, and some of those had the string "evolution" in them.  So I pursued removing evolution.  With Tom's help, that's done.  Ed told me how to prevent the "evolution-" processes from being started, but I don't know if that's the real problem, or if that's a good thing to do.  Samuel told me that evolution depends on these "evolution-" services, but I don't know what else uses them.  I tried googling, but only found out what I've long suspected: google ain't God (google is a long way from knowing everything).  Before pursuing these questions further, allow me to go into the fedora HYPERKITTY to try to find that old thread and who really said what.  This may take a while, but I don't want to waste list members' time on the wrong questions.

I was partly correct, partly wrong.

I was recalling my Monday, Nov. 30, 2020 thread "mysterious/suspicious internet activity." (see here:
"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/DI4NUTIRORZBG3DWGS2PXF5YDY2USCYY/";).
On Dec. 01, early in the discussion, Tim said

Run "gnome-session-properties" and see what's enabled.  There's often
more than you need preconfigured to start, and turning off some junk
can make logins quicker to complete.

But there was no mention of evolution anything in that thread.

I could not find a "gnome-session-properties". I searched the web, and found that "gnome-session-properties" died over a decade ago. It seems to be replaced by "Startup Applications" within the Gnome's "Tweaks". The only things listed there are:
- PolicyKit Authentication Agent,
- Secret Storage Service,
- Blueman Applet,
- Certificate and Key Storage, and
- Backup Monitor.
Evolution is removed. The other "evolution-" things should not be removed. I'm marking this thread "SOLVED". I thank all who posted for their time and effort.
