Did you try to SIGTERM or to SIGKILL the processes?

  ps aux --forest

might provide a pointer

My setup allows to get rid of all processes by either running

  evolution -q
  pkill evolution

or by running

  evolution --force-shutdown

So a simple SIGTERM does the trick for my setup. Depending on your
setup, it might not be that easy, but if it fails even with a SIGKILL,
then "sudo" is still not the way to go. If you can't kill the processes
or if thy should get automatically restarted, there's probably a good
reason for this behaviour.
