Hi,
you might find all the answers here:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Building
and eventually here:
https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution/Flatpak
after you read the first paragraph of the former. The Flatpak version
as provided in Evolution sources has also its caveats, which you should
be aware of (also the first paragraph, in the second wiki page).
Long story short, main issue (and the reason why LTS distros do not
update evolution) is that evolution requires evolution-data-server,
which is also used by other programs (and even GNOME shell), thus when
you update evolution-data-server you usually need to update also all
other installed applications which depend on it. The Building wiki
compiles into a separate prefix, thus you can run the code "in
parallel", which usually works (at least here). The Ubuntu 16.04 is
really old, you'll see how well it'll work for you.
Bye,
Milan
