The normal way to write this is:

        evolution >/dev/null &

And it will get a SIGHUP when you close that window or connection,
so if it's not ignoring that, that'd be a bad thing.  You'll also
get a "you have stopped jobs" if that's a job-management shell.

        (evolution &) >/dev/null

will stop the job management functions.
