How do you remove/disable Evolution Data Server process

Question

I want to stop evolution-data-server-2.24 from loading at startup. I tried to uninstall all evolution related items, but I got some nasty warnings about removing the data server so I left it installed.

There are no items in my startup list that look like they could be it. I'm running openSUSE 11.1, if it matters,

Thanks

From the looks of it, Evolution Data Server is a required component for Gnome and should not be used.

The Evolution Data Server provides a single database for common, desktop-wide information, such as a user's address book or calendar events. It is also a dependency of the clock applet from the gnome-applets package, 2.10 release.

So in short, removing Evolution Data Server would either remove alot of other programs, or completely bork your install.

From the Ubuntu Forums:

It's also not a big memory loss; the little volume applet on the panel takes far more real ram than evolution-data-server.
