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/..."). 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".
On systems that still have it, or mate-session-properties, it brings up a GUI window called Startup Applications Prefererences
The only things listed there are:
- PolicyKit Authentication Agent,
- Secret Storage Service,
- Blueman Applet,
- Certificate and Key Storage, and
- Backup Monitor.
If you don't have/use bluetooth you can disable the blueman applet from starting. It probably doesn't make much difference, though.
An Evolution-related things that can appear in there is "Evolution Alarm Notify" (appointments in its calendar).
