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:

  • Can i install it on top of the old version? Or i need first to uninstall the old version? Thanks. – amrfaissal May 25 '13 at 15:20
  • 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. – Mitch May 25 '13 at 15:26
  • Ukh it gives this when i try to update: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/support-bec/evolution/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources 404 Not Found !! – amrfaissal May 25 '13 at 15:36
  • I got the same error, but it installed OK. – Mitch May 25 '13 at 15:40

    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? – Aaron B. Russell Jan 07 '14 at 15:20
  • @AaronB.Russell - find anything? – Nathaniel Bubis Dec 10 '14 at 08:28
  • Unfortunately not -- even tried compiling the newer packages from source, but it had dependencies on newer parts of GTK which in turn had other dependencies and basically it wasn't plausible to continue without recompiling huge amounts of the system. Ubuntu 14.04 came out since then which was an LTS release so we ended up just upgrading. – Aaron B. Russell Dec 10 '14 at 13:20
