Otherwise, when I used 14.04, I self compiled Evolution since I needed webkit composer. To do it, you need to first sudo apt-get build-dep evolution-data-server to get all required dependencies. You can then download any version you like for evolution-data-server, evolution and evolution-ews (only if you use exchange) from the Evo github. https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-ews You can then extract them into a folder, and start trying to compile: My Example for Evolution-Data-Server, run inside the extracted zip folder: ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-goa --disable-uoa --enable-ipv6=no --disable-weather --with-openldap --disable-examples This may create some errors, also depending on the version you use. For example, you can't compile 3.16 in 14.04 or even 15.04, since the repository lacks the new version of libwbxml2 that Evo requires. So you'll need to find it online, compile it and install it before proceeding to fix other missing libraries. I think libwbxml2 was the only problem I faced for 15.04. Then you can do make and when it finishes, you can do checkinstall to install a packaged version, or if you're fine to live without a package, you can simply do sudo make install to install in /usr/local Once the EDS installed, you can do the same for Evolution: cd ../evolution-master ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-gnome-desktop --disable-autoar --disable-gtk-doc-html --enable-smime --enable-nss --disable-weather --without-help --with-openldap --enable-pst-import --disable-spamassassin make sudo make install and then the same for evolution-ews if you need it. If you can get the 1st compilation right, then you can put all these into a script and it would probably work fine until they change some library version requirements or new libraries (like it happened on 3.16 for libwbxml2, while it was fine for 3.13.x) Let me know how it goes, Br, Emre
