You took what I said out of context Ralf !! Right for all those frightened of breaking their system by updating to 3.28.3-0ubuntu1 The above version number is copied and pasted from the "Help/about" pulldown. I'm running Linux Mint 19 with Evolution 3.28.3, and it hasn't broken the system here :) the caveat is just because it hasn't broken mine does not mean it wont brake yours. Installed by adding the source to /etc/apt/sources.list, and the entry hashed out afterwards, otherwise there is a large download when running update. Dont forget to run apt update after removing the extra repo.
