killev is deprecated. The recommended command is:

evolution --force-shutdown

BTW, I use Evo 1.4.5 about 10 hours a day with *lots* of email. I only
have to use that command about twice a month.  The usual culprit is when
there is a network connectivity issue (Comcast grrrrr), Evo can block
for awhile and I don't have the patience to wait.
