This will install Evolution 3.6.4. To install it, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:support-bec/evolution
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install evolution

Once done you will get:

  • I tried it and it worked, but with no data. I have to say, just to be safe, backup your data, and then restore on 3.6.4, if anything goes wrong.

    Seems this PPA only has packages for 12.10 and 13.10 now, which is what's causing the 404 errors. Anyone know of any alternatives?
