I'm searching for an application that can do this. Currently I'm using Evolution but I don't really like it.

Ubuntu is shipped with Thunderbird as the default email program. It had contacts (called Address Book) by default. You can click on the Add-ons option to add your preferred Calendar. Using calendar
in the add-ons search field you'll find a number of calendars. I believe the most popular one is Lighting. While some of the others might also, Lightning functions seamlessly with the Google contacts (Provider for Google Calendar).
gContactSync will sync your address book with Google.
The Google sync components are for syncing with your mobile devices.
Thunderbird is a Mozilla application. While it has many features and pluggins available. It's a very lightweight application.
