Just making sure. I don't think I've ever lost data by killing Evolution outright, but "--force-shutdown" presumably does it more cleanly. I have had problems like not being able to view any of my contacts (or do auto-completion) after a crash (I am using 1.5.7, and it does crash), but doing a --force-shutdown and restarting seems to fix that problem.
